We be Parents

We went for the first appointment with the doctor on October 10th – Yenari was supposed to be at about 7 and a half weeks, and she was scheduled for her first ultrasound.  Here it is (click for a larger version):

In the image on top, the plus sign shows where the fetus is.  They made the plus marks to measure the size of the fetus.  Going into the appointment, we thought that Yenari was seven and half weeks pregnant, but the ultrasound showed that she was only six weeks and one day pregnant.  The doctor said that we needed to have a follow-up ultrasound in ten days to make sure that the fetus is growing and that the small size didn’t indicate a problem.  Despite the worry of the smaller size, it was so exciting to see the baby on the monitor and to see its little heart flickering on the screen.
