It's a....heartbeat!!!

I had my 8 week appointment this morning.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my midwives. It was such a great appointment.

Strangely enough, the other day I started feeling better and despite the fact that I never really felt too sick with Mini Me, I found this scary.

My midwife was excellent and was willing to send me for an ultrasound (even though they usually don't do early ultrasounds). So, they got me in for that morning, and as soon as they started, I saw the little flicker of a heartbeat even before the tech pointed it out.

Mini Me Jr.'s heart was beating away at 167 bpm and was measuring 8 weeks, 1 day. So, the ittle bean is measuring a couple of days ahead! Yay! Grow, baby, grow!
