Travis and I went to the first ultrasound today. It was really neat to hear the heart beat and see the little arm and leg buds wiggle around. Baby stayed in pretty much one spot the whole time, but we could hear the heart beat jump when our little grape sized person started moving. :) Heart beat during the abdominal ultrasound was 175, and after I used the restroom and they did the other kind of ultrasound it slowed slighty down to 168. There is only one little Melvis Jr. (Melanie+Travis =Melvis) in there-which is nice to know. Don't worry, we won't be naming the child Melvis, it'll just be a good nickname till we have identified the gender.
Its our Gummy Bear!
The ring is the yolk sac, the tech did identify a placenta in there but for a few more weeks the baby gets its nourishment through the yolk sack instead.
Here the arms look a little crossed under the chin
(Don't worry, I don't see much in this photo either, but Travis said to keep in in the album because its the only one from that angle.)
Heres a little recording of the heart beat! When the beat changes to a big gushy sound near the end, thats baby moving.
