And, here is! The little being, right here. "It" has graduated into an official fetus and is the size of a large strawberry. Life is sweet.Yesterday we met Dr. West who will be joining us on this adventure. He is as laid back as they come and we really like him.
As I was getting my ultrasound, you could see a very fast heart rate and the area where the brain lives (the dark spot). Dr. West told us that if you are into wives tales, fast heart rates mean you are having a girl. Jared actually dreamt that it would be a boy. When asked what the dream was like, it was pretty straight forward: "Oh, well, we went to the Dr., they did an ultrasound, and we could all clearly see it was a boy!" So, there you go.
We want to find out what we are having and should know in early August. Usually weeks go by so quickly, but since finding out it seems like time has slowed to a crawl.
Most important, Dr. West told us everything looks very good and that our chances of miscarriage have dropped to below 5%. As I was laying on the table having the ultrasound. I let out what must have been a cross between a sigh, a laugh, and a cry! I hadn't realized I was so worried about that possibility.
