1st U/S - 6w1d

This is going to be a quick drive by post as I am exhausted beyond belief.  All is good!  Little Seven is doing well, measuring a little behind with a 3mm crown rump length and a gestation age of 5w6d, but has a beautiful HB of 117 bpm. 

Scanning the u/s photo wasn't working too well, so here's a picture of the picture.



I have lots of details and will post them when I'm a little more coherent.  See what happens when dog tired Jill tries to make a smoothie?



Nighty night.

    Woohoo what a beautiful site!!!.....I knew you'd be posting this kind of news....I had NO DOUBTS:-) Hopefully they explained to you that you aren't actually measuring "behind"...there can be a variance this early on and you are right on target! H/B is perfect too:-) Isn't that the most amazing thing in the world when they show you that little bean and you see that little flicker? It's the 2nd most amazing thing I've ever experienced....of course #1 is when they put your little baby on your chest as soon as you give birth...just wait and you'll see what I'm talking about!

    Can't wait to read more updates!!!

    love you mama!

    Yay for a wonderful heartbeat. It's the best isn't it? You'd better get used to the smoothie incident and similar ones. For some reason any coordination flies out of the window when pregnant. Congratulations on a fabulous day!

    So glad to see that everything is okay...I was worried when I saw you post about the MTHFR thing but I think that you'll be fine. I appreciate your arrow too on the u/s to direct our attention to the proper spot in the picture :). Tired is good too - means that little seven is growing and you need to rest up so that seven can get what she/he needs from you! Yay Mommy!

    Sounds perfect! They only have to move the little measuring cursor a hair at this point, and it makes a major difference in the calculated GA. I think the FHR of 117 is the best sign. My baby only had one of 127 at 7w1d (and measured at 6w5d).

    That's a beautiful web pic of a pic of the pic of Little 7! Ah! And you must be thrilled to hear the beautiful music of that little heartbeat! I am so happy for you!

    And what are you doing making that smoothie yourself? Hope you didn't have to clean it up! Pregnant women are exempt from doing any kind of work for 9 months! That's where your husband comes in! ;-) And get plenty of rest! It's no easy feat making a whole new human being inside!

    Yay!! Fetal measurements are totally inaccurate at this time. Supposedly it is supposed to be within "plus or minus" 6 days. So your little one is right on track! So happy for you.

    Oh, and I second JJ on the coordination issues. I am seriously looking into a cheap set of correlle dishes b/c I keep breaking ours!
