I went for the ultrasound Monday, October 4. I was very nervous going in. I have no idea why. Irrational fears, I suppose. But the minute I saw that image of a tiny person, all fears were gone. I had this huge, poop-eatin' grin on my face and I couldn't tear my eyes from it for one second. Then we saw the heart beat. Yes, you read that right. We saw the heart beat. With each beat, the little chest would rise and fall. How amazing!! I couldn't even look at Brad because I was so enthralled with what was happening on the screen. (Later he admitted that he started crying when he saw the baby for the first time. And he admitted it on facebook, so I'm not giving away any secrets here!) We heard the heart beat also and there is nothing more comforting to a mother-to-be's heart than the sound of her baby's heart beating. 
The technician measured the size of the baby and the size of the uterus and determined that I was 9 weeks 1 day (instead of 10 weeks 3 days as originally thought).
So the estimated due date based on the ultrasound is May 8, 2011. So for those of you who may not have looked ahead at next year's calendar:
- That would be a Sunday.
- Mother's Day
- And the day after Brad's birthday.
And for those of you who attend Calvary, it's also the day after Taste of Calvary. (My mother-in-law is in quite a tizzy about that one, considering she has to run the whole show!)
What can I say? Babies have their own unique way of keeping life interesting, don't they?
