BR: First Ultrasound & PIP

My first appointment for this pregnancy was last Friday. The baby had a visable heartbeat at 7w6d (we didn't get the count or hear it, but we could see it beating away) and had ARMS! I was impressed with the arms, and can't stop staring at them. The Dr. said everything looked great, and at this point the rate of miscarriage is about 2%. We're still cautiously excited, but I feel so hopeful. He confirmed the due date of January 7th, 2012.

Here he/she is:

  • Hooray! So glad that everything looks good. Arms already? I'm thinking boy, building up his guns early Wink Are you guys going to find out whether baby is a boy or girl?

    Hehe. Even though I know the arm buds appear around week 5, I didn't expect to be able to actually see them on the ultrasound this early. It was surreal.

    We're definitely going to find out the sex as long as MiMo (nn) cooperates. We're hoping boy, but neither of us would be disappointed for a second if it's a girl, and truly, I have a strong feeling it is a girl.

  • Yay! I'm so glad to hear you had a great appointment! I'm sure it was a relief to see the hearbeat (and the baby!) I couldn't stop staring at my u/s either.
  • Yay for heartbeats and little baby arms Smile

    6ish more weeks till I get to see my little peanut, I can't wait!

    I ended up telling Friday afternoon, because Jeremy was super excited and I didn't trust him not to put it on Facebook (he hasn't.....so far). But I gave her a call and told her and she was actually really excited for me, and asked how i've been feeling, told me to let her know if I need anything baby gear wise, etc. I cried the second I hung up the phone and J laughed at me. Thanks for your help!

  • Aww, that first ultrasound is so exciting and surreal!  Hope your first tri isn't leaving you feeling too wonky!

  • Wow, I didn't know that babies had arms at 7 weeks. That's pretty cool. Glad everything went well with your appointment and telling your boss. Congrats again!
