First u/s; all is well!

Hello Ladies!

We just finished our first u/s and everything looks fantastic.  Very emotional to see the little jellybean on the screen.  Everything looks good for a 6w6d pg: heart rate 130, measuring 8mm.  

Very, very real.  We got to hear the little heartbeat, too, which is pretty amazing. My partner commented at how amazing it is that such a tiny little thing, little more than a fetal pole, really, can have a heartbeat, but there it is.

We get to go back in a week for another u/s. Not sure why, except that this is all through our RE, so it makes sense that they monitor things closely. Our nurse said we'd get a little dvd or something of the next one. :-)

Yay!

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
