I went for my ultrasound today. We have a live one! The heart is beating. I didn't expect to get to hear the heartbeat but I did, thanks to the wand that was used for my ultrasound (couldn't do it the normal way since I'm not far enough along for that to do any good.) I'm including a picture with this post. The baby is roughly 8 millimeters from crown to rump (head to tush). Lots of growing left to do, but right on schedule! Everything looks good so far! Yay!!! The funniest part about the entire appointment was that I was so excited about things that I forgot to have the tech validate my parking and had to go back and have her do that. Oops!
As for me, I have a touch of morning sickness - I wake up with an icky tummy, but as long as I munch on some crackers before I get up, the day goes decent. If I don't munch on those crackers, I'm no good until I get home from work. Lunch for the last week or so has been Ritz crackers and an apple. Yum. I've even lost a couple of pounds, but I suspect that they will come back fairly quickly.
In the picture, Bob is the little bit on the right-hand side of the black area. The yolk sac is right above Bob, I think. It will go away in a few weeks.
