Ultrasound on Friday, April 18 2008

Doesn't look much like a baby, but hey we're still young!
The circle is the yolk sac ('lunchbox for baby') and the 'blob' is the little embryo!!! She/he is upside down- the head is against the sac wall and the bum is up in the air.
Heart rate is 167 bpm (Normal heart rate at 6 weeks is around 90-110 beats per minute (bpm) and at 9 weeks is 140-170 bpm). We are measuring 7 weeks, 4 days--- almost exactly what the calendar says it should be.

After seeing a strong heartbeat, the chance of miscarrying goes down to 4%... so that makes me feel a lot better. Of course I still have 5 weeks to go until I am feeling 'secure'. For now I just have to keep the faith that we're going to be ok. :)

So far, so good!!!!!!

Kittens

After waiting for-ever (in Bee's eyes), we brought our kittens home from Grammy's. Leia is the light grey girl and Chierpa (ewok name!) is the dark grey boy.



Easter

The girls were SO pretty in their Easter dresses! Bees hair was not cooperating today! Not much candy this year-but lots of fun goodies in their 'baskets'!
