Day 55: Heartbeat

We went to our first obstetrician appointment today, and even though we're only at 9 1/2 weeks, we were able to find and hear a heartbeat via ultrasound! It was a surprisingly emotional moment. Unexpectedly so. Makes us want to bump our "Tell Date" forward now that we know we have a healthy heartbeat. It's possible we'll cave and start telling some people tonight... although we might be wisest to wait and make sure we get no negative feedback from the early risk assessment Mary underwent this afternoon.

Very exciting day. It's getting more and more real!

[6/25/2007 Correction: it wasn't technically an ultrasound. Ultrasound is an imaging device, this just gets sound. I was unable to learn its proper name last time I was at the hospital]
