First there were two... then there was you.
Finally! The week we have been waiting for since seeing those two lines early in the morning. You are officially the size of a raspberry/kidney bean and we kicked off week 8 with the Superbowl!
A bedtime of 8 or 9 is now preferred and weekend naps are becoming the new hot thing. I read that you are now able to bend your elbows and knees this week.
I had so many emotions before the sonogram. Anxious to see and hear you, nervous to make sure everything is okay, excited to finally tell our family. So many feelings! BUT everything looks great! Thursday morning we met with Dr. Vourlos for our first ultrasound appointment and she confirmed that the baby was measuring at 8 1/2 weeks, just like we thought! The due date is officially confirmed for September 13th and baby's heart rate was 160 bpm :)
It was so surreal and such a relief to actually see the baby! Chris and I both got emotional once we could hear the heart beat. It just made things more real and, for me, was confirmation that you are growing to be strong and healthy. It's hard not being able to know for sure how things are progressing, so I'm really looking forward to our next appointment and testing.
I made our next two sonogram appointments for the day after we get back from Cabo and April 28th for the anatomy scan. I'm hoping we can find out the gender before that appointment. :)

Our first sonogram! It's crazy how much you can tell it's a little baby.
