First Ultrasound (8 Weeks)!

My first ultrasound took place on July 23, 2012! I was so excited to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time! The baby's heart is beating at a rate of 143 beats per minute, and the size of the baby is just 1.2 centimeters. It was so neat to hear the heartbeat, but for me, it was even neater to see the heart beating, in a way. The ultrasound tech said we could tell that the heart was beating by the fast flickering on the screen. That was so neat -- I never thought I could actually see the heart beat at all! How neat to finally see this little being growing inside of me.

My next ultrasound will be August 22nd -- four weeks away!
