9 weeks, 3 days

July 8, 2010

At our 9 week appointment yesterday, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat! We had seen it on our last ultrasound, but hearing it was something different. The doctor said there was only a 1 in 5 chance of being able to hear it, so we didn't get our hopes up, but then there it was! "whoosh whoosh whoosh" The doctor estimated the heart rate to be around 170bpm.

This week the baby is supposedly the size of a grape, around 1 inch long. I know the baby's in there, but it still seems a bit surreal. I'm looking forward to seeing what its like to be 10 weeks pregnant!
