Hello again :)

It's been a while between posts. T had another ultrasound a week ago on July 8th and everything looked great! The baby was officially 8 weeks 4 days at that point with a heartrate of 165.

So I look at pictures like this and think "which end is up??" T nicely pointed out to me that the head is at the bottom, little arm buds in the middle, and feet/tail at the top... all for the approximate size of a raspberry. T has this thing about comparing the size of the embryo - soon to be considered a fetus - to fruit and it makes it so much more relatable. This week we're in the green olive stage, and next week, at Week 10, it'll be as big as a prune. Seriously, they couldn't think of a more appetizing fruit for similar size?? As for due date, they officially said the baby is due on Valentine's Day 2011. Although I know few people hit their due date exactly, this baby will be a love bug no matter what!
