Needless to say, we are greatly relieved at today's results, and feel like we can move forward now with a more positive and excited outlook. I think we are probably over the biggest hurdles now! I think this one is a keeper!
During the ultrasound, we again heard the heartbeat (153 bpm today), and confirmed our due date of May 24. The baby is approximately 6 cm from "crown to rump" (not including those long legs). We also got to watch the baby for a minute as he/she kicked his momma, stretched, and squirmed around. We are going to try to capture the video digitally tonight, and (if successful) will post it shortly as well.Sidebar: After today's video, I definitely think a little differently about the whole abortion issue -- I still think it should be the parent's / mother's choice, but I had no idea how active and vital a 2 inch fetus was in the womb. I guess I thought it "just laid there" until later in pregnancy, but today we saw ours move like a typical baby moves, and it was quite amazing... I am so glad our news today was positive, and we don't have to make any tough decisions.
