First Looks at Baby Gray

Today was amazing. We had our first OB/GYN appointment with Dr. Young. I have to confess, I could do without all the medical procedures and tests but it is worth it when we saw our little one! Baby Gray was moving!!!!! We actually saw the little arms and hands and legs moving and swimming and turning circles inside me!!! My first response was, “It’s alive! That’s a good thing!” Jonathan says it was amazing seeing our own little tadpole. “I’ve never been so astonished, it was incredible.” I could have watched for hours, but we barely even got a full couple of minutes. On the pictures, you can see the little hands to either side of the body, and you can see the head and ears, some of the face, and if you try hard you can see the legs. The baby’s heart was beating at a fast 171 beats per minute, which is perfect! The doctor says everything looks good, and he’s not worried. He did say we were 10 weeks and 1 day, which makes our due date November 4th according to the ultrasound.
