Status: 5weeks, 6 days
**New EDD of 9/19/09***
Today, Joel and I went for our "Confirmation of Pregnancy" ultrasound. It was a scary and exciting experience, all at the same time. The moment they aimed the ultrasound wand at my uterus, and I saw that magic bubble, I couldn't stop smiling. I've seen enough ultrasounds at work to know exactly what I was looking at, even before the tech made the announcement. It was really cool to watch as she probed around, trying to get better pictures of our tiny little "rice" baby! She confirmed the estimated gestational age, looked around, and pronounced us a viable little family.
(This is the "life-size" picture the tech gave us to put everything in perspective.)

(Another View...)Because Tobe was so little, the tech was only able to pick up the heartbeat at an average of 94 bpm. We met with one of the doctors at my OB's office after the ultrasound, and she decided to have the ultrasound re-done after the 7 week mark so that we could get a better reading on the heartbeat. Tune in after Feb 2 to find out more!
