For today, the baby is ok. We saw the heart beating and the little arm buds move. We also saw it kicking its stumpy legs. If you use your imagination, the big blob on the right is its head...and its staring right at you!
The radiologist is going to study the pictures that the ultrasound tech took to figure out why I was bleeding, But right now, everything is fine.
It was incredible to see the little thing moving already! According to the tech, I'm actually 9 weeks and 1 day (not 4), but already it moves! Amazing! Despite what the picture shows, it is only 2.5 cm long from crown to rump. And I'm in love already. This has really hit me, well us, that there's a living being inside of me. I think Kevin was a little more distanced from the baby because he hasn't been feeling the sickness or the changes like I have. But he got to see his baby today too and I'm so glad he was able to experience it.
After all the stress and the frustration, I had hoped but did not expect to see the heart beat. I honestly did not expect to feel as emotional as I did when I saw it moving its little body. I guess I should get used to that feeling, since I'll be a mom in less than 7 months. :)
