These are the first two sonograms of our baby.
The first was taken on Dec. 8th, 2008 by Dr. Stein. This sonogram was done to confirm the number of embryos and initial development. (Fortunately, it was just one that was the right size in the right location!) After seeing this image, the baby got the nickname Paisley, because it looks like a Paisley
The next sonogram was done about two weeks later, on Dec. 18th, 2008. The purpose of this visit was again to check development, and, more excitingly, check for the heartbeat. I was really nervous going into this one. I felt good about things, but you never know. Justin was with me which was good. Dr. Stein found the heartbeat and turned up the sound. There it was - our baby's heartbeat. It was very cool and made it very real. It sounded like Thumper from Bambi - Paisley got a second nickname, "Thumper".
Our first appointment with the OB is tomorrow morning (Jan. 12th, 2009). It's been almost 4 weeks since the last sonogram. I can't wait to see how the baby has changed. I'm also a bit nervous since it's been so long since we've had new info about the baby. I have so many questions - I just hope that I remember them.
Quick clarification for Jared - the black blob at the center of the image is the baby. :)
Thanks Jenn for the handy tip. So cool that you're blogging this I bet you'll look back one day and be amazed!
