10 week ultrasound

We had an ultrasound on the 12th to double check the due date. Here's our little peanut:





The arrow is pointing at the noggin.
The body and feet are to the right.

The baby measures right were it should for 10 weeks so my due date of November 8th is correct. Baby is 3.3cm long right now and weighing about .25oz. I got to see baby move quite a bit and got to watch the little heart beating away. The ultrasound tech measured the heartbeat for us. It's strong and healthy at 173 bpm (if you believe the old wives' tales you are thinking girl thoughts right now).

We were given 3 keepsake pictures to take home. As soon as little David heard us talking about them with my sister (our sitter for the morning) he wanted to see too. We pointed out what part was our baby and what part was Mama's tummy. I was really surprised, but he seemed to get it even with the blurriness of the picture. He still looks back at it and points out the baby to me. He asked to keep the picture forever and never give it back so I made a copy for him on plain paper. He just loves it. He calls it "his baby" (which he's positive is a girl so sometimes he calls it his baby sister). :D
