The Baby and I had our first ultrasound today. Which consisted of really having to go to the bathroom and then she realized that she would have to use the weird stick in order to get a picture- that is okay though. It felt odd but not painful.Baby still has the yolk sac which will soon be replaced by the placenta. Baby's heartbeat is 162-167 beats a minutes- which is perfectly normal for this age. It was very strange to see this little blob, you could make out the head, the heart, the little arms. It was awesome. The sonographer said that she would put the due date at May 18th! Which is Eli's birthday. Althoug only like 10-20% of babies are actually born on their actual due dates.Robby was super cute about the whole thing- he cringed a little on the inside when the attendant called the baby Junior but that is pretty much because he does not want a Junior. I don't really blame him, I find it a little pretentious and wreaking of some other title, such as Earl of Snoville the Third or some such nonsense. The next doctor's appointment is Nov 11. and then you can do the gender ultrasound at like 16-20 weeks so to recap- Baby super cute- 8 weeks, new due date and everything looked normal! (I added the ultrasound picture on this page)
