First Picture @ 9.5 weeks

Jeff and I had our first sonogram today. What a surreal experience. Can't believe that something is living and growing inside of me, but very cool! I got misty-eyed at the appointment, particularly when we started hearing the heartbeat. I know everyone says this, but it really did sound like a helicopter. Our baby's heart is beating at an average of 165 beats per minute! That's ridiculous. Anyway, we're thinking about doing the genetics testing (down syndrome, etc.) in a few weeks (the doctor said it had to be between 11-13 weeks) and then we go to the doc again in another 4 weeks for another regular appointment.

Our official due date is: February 25, 2010 (that's Ashley's BDAY and also the Olympics will be on!)
