Our Baby's 1st Picture!

We saw our little bean for the first time yesterday! We went in for my first ultrasound (at 6 weeks, 2 days) and were able to see our little one and his/her heartbeat going strong! The heartbeat measured 122bpm and we were told the average is 120bpm, so we're right on track! The baby measured about 5 weeks, 6 days but they said it's normal to be off a few days (either way) from how far along you really are. So we are all good! The doctor said everything looks exactly like it should for this stage! Our next ultrasound is on Thursday, August 7th. By that time, I'll be 7 weeks, 5 days so we'll be able to see a lot of growth! By that time, the baby will have doubled in size!

I've posted our first ultrasound photos too - we're already in love with our little one! The photos are a little hard to see and decipher, so here's our best shot at it! The black "hole" is the gestational sack and inside that you'll see what looks like a diamond engagement ring floating at the top. The ring part of that is the yolk sac that provides nutrients to the baby and the little "diamond" on top is our baby! And he/she is certainly going to be our diamond and treasure!
Thank you all for your support, prayers and encouragement! Please continue to pray for us and our little bean...that he/she continues to develop and grow as he/she's supposed to and that we're able to remain calm and enjoy every minute of this blessing!

Love you all,
Nile & David
