Well, unfortunately I can't get the cine loop to upload but I do have some still ultrasound pictures to share!  Carol measured the baby at right around 6 weeks on Thursday.  The baby itself measured 5wks 6days and the gestational sac measured 6wks 2 days, so we decided to split the difference and just say about six weeks.  So far, symptom wise I've been doing fairly well.  I've been having morning sickness oddly every other day, and have felt extremely TIRED!  Mood wise I've tried not to turn into a crazy person... I'll have to ask Matt if  I've been very successful on that front.  I'll try to label each picture to share what we're seeing.  This early on it's very hard to tell.  Please keep praing for the three of us!!  I hope you enjoy the pics!!  I wish I could upload the cine video!!  I'm so bummed about that.  It shows the baby's heartbeat so well.  UGH!


Here the two X's measure the fetal pole from head to rump.  It looks about half the size of a pencil eraser.



Here the little red dot shows where the baby's heart is on doppler.



This is a measurement of the gestational sac that the baby and the yoke sac are in.



On the bottom of the next two images shows the baby's heartbeat.  It's the little green spots on the line.




Here is the basic info of the measurements.  According to my last LMP the baby should be due on March 24th but according to the measurements it looks like our EDD will be March 28th.

Guess What!!



They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I added one!  Matt and I are expecting.   My friend Carol just scanned me today and we have a good sized gestational sac, a clearly defined yolk sac, a fetal pole, and a strong heartbeat!  Carol even let me listen to it.  Matt and I are so blessed beyond words.  We appreciate all of your prayers during this time.  Please pray for this little one that God will keep his hand over him or her and bless him/her with a healthy mind, body, and spirit, and that they will truly come to love and serve Him.  I'll try to get some ultrasound pictures uploaded tomorrow if I can get the dang computer to cooperate.  Thanks again for everyone's prayers!  Matt and I appreciate them!  We love you all!
