Today was our first doctor's appointment! Both Mommy and Daddy were nervous, but couldn't wait to see their baby for the first time. Dr. Somani came in and was very excited to hear the happy news that we were expecting. She got right to work! We did a vaginal ultrasound which is a good thing b/c the baby is about the size of a medium olive!
We saw the little baby right away. It was all head (just like Daddy) and had little arm and leg buds. The heartbeat was strong at 170 beats a minute! We saw the yolk sac (that will eventually go away) and the amniotic sac that has started to form. My uterus is about the size of a grapefruit, but is more than enough room for our baby that is only about a half inch long - crown to rump. Our due date was as expected of August 20th, 2008 so that makes Mommy about eight weeks along.
After our ultrasound, Mommy had to give a whole lot of blood and ended up passing out. She woke up on the floor with about six nurses all crowded around. Not to worry, all was well...Mommy is just a little squeemish.

I hope you enjoy the photos of our baby. They are hard to make out as He/She (it's not decided yet as the genitals haven't been established) is very small.
We are so blessed!!
Love, Emily and Dan
