9 weeks, 3 days

Jason and I had out first doctor's appointment last Wednesday. It was a quick one; my doctor just did an ultrasound to verify the pregnancy and my due date, which she put at February 18. Seeing our baby on the ultrasound screen was very cool, but it didn't seem real to me until I saw the heart flickering, after which my heart melted and my eyes got teary. There's actually a living being inside of me right now! I was so relieved when my doctor said that everything looks normal so far. Obviously things could still go wrong, but I'm trying not to think of that right now. Positive thoughts only!

I'm not showing yet, just getting bloated and chunky in other areas (like my thighs!) I'm not going to take a picture of my bloated belly, so I'll wait until I'm really starting to show to take some pregnancy pictures.

Here is a picture from the ultrasound. The head is on the left, and the little leg/feet buds are on the right. Enjoy!
