Ultrasound #1

Not much to see but wanted to post as this is our first baby picture! The baby's on the right side of the black circle.

First ultrasound today. We've got one perfect little baby growing away in there. We could see/hear the heartbeat at 117 bpm (I'm 6w5d pregnant today). So exciting and magical to see actual physical proof that something is going on and all's well.

And one baby...I had been thinking a lot about twins...in a way twins would have been great because we would have never had to go back to the fertility clinic again. (We want more than one child.) But one just seems like it's going to be so much easier, you know? And we're not going to get the fertility-related questions that seem almost inevitable with twins. No offense to anyone with twins...twins are wonderful and magical and so very special...we would have been thrilled with twins, to be honest...but I think I'm ready to be just a "normal" pregnant lady without anything special going on, you know? I feel like I never get to do anything the normal way...I'm kind of grateful to have the more common type of pregnancy.

So happy and excited today!

Oh, and in related news, I got the seasickness wristbands that are supposed to help with nausea yesterday, and am feeling much better today.
