We saw a heartbeat!!!! Yay! 120 bpm.
Edited later:
We had a wonderful u/s technician who was nice enough to look for a heart beat right away before taking all of the other measurements to set our minds at ease. We both saw the little flicker right away before she told us what it was. I asked if that was the heart beating and she said yes. Both of us started to cry. It was the most amazing thing to finally see that.
Then she measured the heart rate - 120 bpm, which is perfect for this early on. She did some measurements as to size and the computer estimated that I was 6 weeks and 3 days along, so about 4 days ahead of schedule. That little baby is growing!
She also gave us some pictures so Jay is going to scan them and I will try to figure out how to upload them to the blog. They don't look like much, but you can see something.
That is the best news I have heard all day! Congratulations!
