"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were here, I would die for you. This is the miracle of life."

After what seemed like forever, we finally got to have our first ultrasound at 8 weeks! Gerry got to come with me, and it was a really special day for both of us.

We went to the doctor and they confirmed the pregnancy and reiterated all of the things I should be doing and should not be doing (so sad about no sushi!). Thankfully, I had been taking a prenatal vitamin for a while, so we were well on our way to doing all the right things for our little one!

Then we went and had our ultrasound. I had seen other people's ultrasounds, so I assumed that the baby wouldn't even look like a person at all, but the baby did look like a person! Well, like a tiny little person with a bit of a tail...but not just a little dot! We got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat (at only 8 weeks!) and it was an amazing experience. Here are our pictures from this visit:
