Greatest Sound in the World!

So last night I was listening to the greatest sound in the world, the sound of my baby's heartbeat. I have an at-home doppler and so far I LOVE IT! It is so neat to be able to check up on this little one and know that he/she is growing well in there. I'm counting down the days until December 16th when I get my next ultrasound. I see the midwife on December 4th but that's not quite as exciting as seeing the baby on ultrasound. So far I have no complaints about being pregnant. I haven't been too sick and it seems to agree with me. I'm hoping things continue down this smooth road.

Ultrasound

So we had our first ultrasound yesterday. It was an early ultrasound to determine exact dates and check for the heartbeat. So we got to see the baby, which sort of looks like a blob right now, and the heartbeat. The baby is currently 5mm long which is perfect! I felt such relief to see that little flutter on the screen. We went out to celebrate with dinner at the Blue Parrot with my parents. My dad has nicknamed the baby "five" because of it being 5mm. Our next ultrasound will be at 12 weeks. That seems so far away!
