First pre-natal appointment

Heather went to her first appointment on May 14th, 2010. Everything looked great, weight was good, blood pressure normal and little baby peanut looked amazing. Peanut was very active when woken up because of the ultrasound and we saw legs and arms just getting after it. The heart rate is 165 bpm which I am told is a very strong little heart, and is 8cm long at this point. My favorite picture is of the one where the baby is mooning us and you can see legs and feet very well. Heather's is, as she puts it, ALL OF THEM. We also got a clear look at the umbilical cord and everything looks great. All I could muster during the whole ultrasound was "that is cool!". I suppose that's what it is like for a first time dad. Of course Heather was full of emotion as well as I saw tears appear in her eyes. The feeling was indescribable. Dr. Reiter says she is about 10 weeks, but our original thought of 9 and a half weeks is probably what they will go by seeming as how her last cycle is more accurate to follow. So that will put our due date between December 9th and December 14th. We go back for our next appointment June 11th to hear the baby's hear beat for the very first time. We look forward to updating our family and friends with all of the experiences in the next several months both big and small. What an amazing miracle God has created for us.
