We had our first doctor's appointment today and everything went perfectly. We are truly blessed, thankful and overwhelmed with joy. We already assumed this, but it was made official today: the due date is October 14, 2011! We also learned that E's doing great and everything is progressing nicely.
The appointment ended with our first ultrasound. It's weird; for some reason I thought the ultrasound would take a while to develop, and that we wouldn't know what was going on immediately. But that wasn't the case... Almost, instantly, we saw and heard this:
There are no words. Hearing and seeing the heartbeat for the first time was both amazing and surreal. The heart is beating healthy and strong at 144 beats per minute (which is in the normal range) and despite being just 7 weeks, 3 days old, Baby is currently the size of a 7 week, 4 day old. Sounds like a linebacker to me. Or the world's prettiest female lumberjack.
