Today we went for our first ultrasound after the blood tests. I was so nervous because all we had to go on was the blood tests but, stupid person that I am, I went on the internet so I had a plethora of things in my head that could possibly be wrong. We got in the exam room and the nurse did her thing and was looking at the screen. She took a little bit looking which made me nervous and then turned the screen so I could see. She said that there's one baby and everything looks just how it should. Evidently, "how it should" mean a little grain of rice that looks nothing like a baby. She measured "Thumper" and he was measuring right on and had a heartbeat of 121 bpm. I was amazed to hear the heartbeat. It was only a couple of thuds but, wow.

So far, so good. Now we're off to Hawaii for 10 days and then we have a follow up ultrasound when we get back.
