Yesterday was our first sonogram and we're happy to report that the doctor said everything looks great! Baby T is still pretty small, only 1/5 of an inch long. Just being able to see and hear that little thumping heart beat made everything seem more real. His heart beat was 115 beats per minute, which is right where it should be. BJ was pretty quiet through the process, and I could tell he was really taking everything in. I know he is very excited, and sometimes it can be hard to express that much emotion. He was very supportive and held my hand throughout the sonogram. We called our parents to fill them in on the news, and interestingly, both of our mothers asked if there was just one baby. As we did use fertility drugs, it had crossed our minds that it could be a possibility. That being said, we have just one little sweet pea that will be entering our lives in a few months. Our next sonogram is in two weeks, October 30th. As long as everything goes well, we'll be released from Washington University back to our local doctor. It's sort of bitter sweet, as I feel comfortable with our doctor at Wash U and feel as though she was the only person in a very long time that really listened to my concerns. Without her, I fear we may not be pregnant now. However, I know that being released means that things are progressing as they should.

congrats on the healthy bean, kel! i know what you mean about bj being quiet during the u/s. ben never was very good at expressing his emotions during the pregnancy, or the process of trying to get pregnant for that matter. the fact of the matter is, it is a lot to process, and in the end, all that matters is the love of your baby! big hugs!
