The scan

So, yesterday Tuesday 6th November (Melbourne Cup day!) Dwayne and I went for our first ultrasound scan. I was terrified. I was convinced that there would be no embryo, or no heart beat, or something unclear that would leave me unsatisfied and even more scared afterwards.

But that was not the case.

The Blob (as we have lovingly named it) is 7 weeks and 4 days and has a healthy heartbeat of 153 beats per minute.

Dwayne and I were amazed. It's really there, the Blob. We've seen it.

There is a bizarre feeling that the heartbeat was only there on the screen in the clinic - I find it hard to grasp that it is still beating away in my uterus right now, wherever I go it goes with me. Decidedly odd thought.
