It's for real



So it's real afterall and it wasn't just in my head all this time. There is a little person-to-be growing inside of me. On the monitor while they were performing the ultrasound, you could see the heart beating really fast! It is so amazing that this embryo has a heart beat. Since we found out about my pregnancy, it was really surreal since I really didn't feel any major symptoms until about last week. I guess seeing it through an ultrasound makes me believe it more.

So the baby's head is to the right. It's the biggest round, solid bulb. His/her body is curled up with the backside upwards and there's the umbilical chord connected to the stomach. It's so cute! Maybe we are using our imaginations a bit, but we could totally see how it's shaped like a baby.

I'm thankful that I have not had true morning sickness. So far (knocking on wood), I have just been queasy and not have much of an appetite (which is hard to believe). Also, just feeling bloated and tired 24/7. Looking forward to the doctor's appointments that have all been scheduled up to the baby's due date. It'll be an October baby, like me :)
