first ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound on Friday to confirm dates. As suspected, dates by my LMP were off some, and by the ultrasound I am actually due 1/12/09, making me 6 weeks and 4 days today. It was a little disappointing to go back in time, but in the end, nine days really makes no difference I suppose.

The wonderful thing is that we did see the baby's heartbeat--it was beating away 130 times a minute, which is expected at this stage. For any who might have been hoping for a 2-for-1 deal, sorry to disappoint, but only one baby brewing in there. You can't make out too much in the ultrasound picture above, but you can sort of distinguish head and body.

All in all, it was a very positive visit. We go back in four weeks for our next check.
