Well, I had my first ultrasound this afternoon! A little earlier than originally scheduled, due to some slight bleeding. But all is fine! I saw the Bean! The Bean is currently an indistinct blob, with a tiny flashing white bit indicating a heartbeat, or so the ultrasound tech said. It was just a flashing white thing to me. She estimated its age at 6 weeks and 6 days, and my due date is 11th July 2009. "No abnormality was demonstrated", which I think in doctor-speak means things are fine.

Great to hear. Did you get to keep a copy of the ultrasound? I have a video tape of Alex at about 20 weeks. I'm not sure he's ever seen it.. hmmm..

No Hilary, all I've got is a printout of the data they got from it: age, size, health, etc. Maybe next time, when it might be big enough to see something useful or interesting!!

"The Bean"... that's so cute! But when it gets bigger and has features, I think Bean won't quite fit...

Glad everything is going well, Stace. I am so happy for you and Aiden and The Bean.

Warm hugs.
