The baby!

No bigger than a kidney bean.
So tiny still!

What an exciting morning! We went in for the ultrasound at 8.  There isn't a lot to see yet.  It's still fairly early in the pregnancy, but oh my goodness!!! There is a heart beat!  133 beats per minute, which I'm told is normal.  There really is a baby in there!! Things are becoming more real with each passing day. I don't think you can tell much of anything by looking at these pictures.  After all, Betsy is only about 6 and a 1/2 weeks along... +/- 4 days.  But that's our baby!!  I can't wait to see the next ultrasound.  Of course that will be about 13 weeks from now.  Everything is going fine and we are on track.  Happy and healthy!  What a great way to start the new year!!

I'm so glad you were able to be there with me for the ultrasound. Now we just have to buckle up and wait until he/she arrives! (Easier said than done).

Now we are four! said...

No kidding!! I'm already getting antsy!
