My baby's first appearance! The ultrasound went great, the nurse and doctor said everything looked exactly like it should. The top picture is when they measured the baby. Came in at an amazing .803 cm which puts me at 6 weeks 6 days, right around where I thought I was. The middle one is just a regular picture without all the lines. The last one is the magical one. We got to see and hear the heartbeat, I cried a little. She pointed to the heartbeat, it was just a tiny flicker on the screen...but it was beautiful. And then we got to hear it, and that's when I lost it. It was the most amazing thing I've ever heard. The rises and peaks at the bottom of the picture is the heartbeat pattern. The heartbeat is 137 beats per minute, which is exactly where we want to be. In fact, if what I read online is true, it's actually alittle faster. The baby website I joined said that between weeks 6-7 the heartbeat should be between 90-110. I told Troy it's already trending to be a girl! LOL
We have another ultrasound on the 17th and as long as everything checks out they will release me to my regular OB...so excited! I'm not getting my hopes up quite yet, but the nurse did say once a strong heartbeat is detected the chance of miscarriage drops dramatically. Hang in there my little jelly bean! You own my heart already.
