6 Weeks - First Ultrasound!

OUR BABY IS 6 WEEKS OLD, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SWEET PEA.
TINY EYELIDS ARE FORMING AND HAND PLATES APPEAR.

We had our first ultrasound on 12/19 and it went so well!  My doctor's office doesn't usually like to see people before 8 weeks, but I wanted to get it early to make sure we could see the heart beating before going home for Christmas.  We are planning to tell my family at Christmas and I'd just feel so much better after seeing a healthy heartbeat.  Well, the baby measured exactly what I expected it to (6 weeks 1 day) and we not only saw the heartbeat but heard it too!  It was a healthy 114 bpm and I was so relieved!  I had been pretty nervous that morning, dreading that something was sure to go wrong.  We will go back in a couple weeks for a follow up.
