Sweet Pea at Six Weeks

Well, we went to our first doctor appoint- ment today and we were already able to see the heartbeat! It was just a little "flicker" on the screen, but it was there! Other than that, there wasn't much to see, of course...just these two little pea-sized shapes (about 5 millimeters each) which looked like twins at first, but the doctor quickly reassured us that one was the fetus (right) and one was the amniotic sac (left)...

Tony asked the doctor if it was too soon to tell what the baby would be when it grew up : ) As of right now, the doctor is estimating a due date of 10/31/10, but we will go back in two weeks and be able to see a little more when the baby is the size of a raspberry and he can get a better measurement...crazy stuff!
