Can you see him/her at the bottom-left? The doctor got this shot at a good angle because it's from the front, so you can see the baby's whole body--especially the head and little arms! As we were looking at the screen, the baby moved and flailed its little nubbins :POur first ultrasound with Aislin was taken at 7 weeks because my family doc thought something was questionable with my urine sample and wanted to see things through an ultrasound, so that very first one had her looking like a piece of candy corn. This one, on the other hand, surprised Tim and me both because we actually saw a baby!
According to the doctor, everything is just peachy--blood tests, urine tests, blood pressure, etc. I've gained 3 pounds but I'll go ahead and blame that on the cold weather keeping us indoors and the fatty foods I've been craving. I've had more burgers in the last two weeks than in the last two years, meatloaf each of those two weeks, and Chinese food ;) I've got nothing against restaurant Chinese food; we've just been making most of our trips to Safeway for it! Fried rice is so easy to scarf down...but so hard to digest :(
