Ultrasound!!!

Behold!   Baby Olfert's first photo!  Yay baby!

So a few things to update on.  

1.  Baby is measuring 6 days smaller than expected so the due date is most likely to change (confirmation needed by doctor) to Jan 15, 2014.  Which puts me at 12 weeks today (instead of 12w6d).  Yay!  I am secretly glad that baby's birthday will be further away from Christmas.  Plus that means I can work longer!  :)  

2.  Baby was jumping around so much today that the ultrasound technician was laughing at him/her.  It made me very happy (and slightly scared) to have such an active baby.  

3.  Heart rate was 170bpm, which is apparently normal.  So I am also happy with that.

Overall, a successful day.  I got to see baby's fingers and toes, and see it taking gulps of fluid, which was also really cool.  All signs point to a healthy baby.  I am excited.  MORE than excited.  I also caught myself calling baby "he" when referring to it.  I originally thought it was going to be a girl, but the more I think about baby and when I saw baby for the first time last week I thought it has to be a boy.  Feel free to place bets in the comments section.  If I can figure out how to do a poll I'll post one of those too.  :)  

Overall, a good day.  I look forward to blood test results from my next appointment at the end of the month.
