Week 6: First Ultrasound

Wednesday, December 7th 

Today we got to see the little heartbeat! There's definitely a baby in there with a strong little heartbeat..yeah!!! Baby Barrett measured 0.625cm with a heartbeat of 127bpm - all is perfect for 6 weeks! It's not much to look at, kind of a blob, but still a perfect blob to me - I'm already envisioning our beautiful, healthy baby.

It's amazing something so tiny has a heartbeat. Four weeks ago it was just a clump of cells in a petri dish, waiting for my warm belly and now it has a heartbeat - truly a miracle!

I feel really good and consider myself very lucky. Other than sore breasts and being really tired, it doesn't seem that I'm truly pregnant! And you won't hear me complaining about much, it took so much to get here that I'll embrace every symptom and every step of the way and truly enjoy this pregnancy. You can hold me to it!


We come back in two weeks for another ultrasound before we move on from fertility to OB. Can't wait to see the little guy/gal again!
