Today was the big day…first ultrasound! Actually, it was supposed to have been last Monday, but Hurricane Ivan saw to that. We’re happy to report that the little one is doing great. Everything is totally on track for this stage of pregnancy, which is going into week eleven tomorrow. Heartbeat is 168 beats per minute, which Brenda tells me is very good. And he’s also very active, moving around a lot just while we were watching (and no, we don’t know the sex yet, but it’s just easier to say “he” instead of “it”, which seems kinda impersonal 
)
So at this point he’s moved out of the alien-face-hugger stage and has actually developed arms and legs, and boy was he using them! Even waved at us once! Other than that, mommy is doing very well, and everything is as it should be. She’s still pretty tired, but no sickness or anything like that.
I know, I know, enough with the yakety-yak and make with the photos. Okay, here’s a good shot of the full body, and here’s a good shot of his face. I’m also making the first image my desktop wallpaper, so if anyone wants a copy, let me know.
More updates as they’re available!
