Best moment of the week: Seeing the baby and s/he's heartbeat today.

What I miss: Staying up late still. I really don't like that I need to be in bed by 9:00 every night.

What I am looking forward to: This isn't really baby related but our vacation in a couple weeks. I can't wait. I could use a few days of fun in the sun.

Weekly wisdom: Eat when you are hungry. I have noticed that when I don't eat I start getting naseaous.

Milestones: Seeing the baby and the heartbeat.

And now pictures of the little one:

The circle on the right is the yolk sac and the line to the left is the baby. S/he is measuring 5.33 mm. So tiny.

This is the close up of the baby. The baby is on the top and the yolk sac is on the bottom.

This is a picture of the baby and the heartbeat. The heartbeat was 119 beats, which the nurse said was very good.

Seeing the baby and the heartbeat was so amazing. I got so teary eyed and giddy. The nurse was great about explaining what everything was. I have seriously been all smiles since. It was such a great experience and I can't wait until we have the chance to see the little one again.

Our next appointment is September 18 and we will do all the history, talk to the doctor, and such. I really hope that we will get to see the baby again. It would be the best thing ever and maybe even hear the heartbeat.

YAY, there is really a baby in there and everything is looking GREAT!!!
