The whole experience was so cool. Before the u/s, I mentioned how nervous I was to our RE, and he said, "I am too." And then he inserted the dildo cam, and we saw the wonderful little bubble, and he pointed out the baby and heartbeat to us. Greg, our RE, and I were all so excited!
Here's a picture from the u/s - the baby is that blob in between the two "+" symbols at the top of the black circle. Below the baby, (but hard to see in this picture), is the yolk sac.
My RE said we can relax a little - he said that, once you see the heartbeat, the m/c risk drops from 25% to 10%. Still high enough to keep me worrying, but I feel comfortable enough to put up a ticker now ;)
We go back in a week for another u/s to confirm the baby is growing the way it should.
I can't believe that things are going our way. This is so surreal.

YAY!!!!!!!! I was getting nervious b.c you took so long to post!! Congrats Kristen! I am soooo happy for you.
Woohoooo! These early ultrasounds are absolutely amazing. It is just so incredible how quickly the "blob" transforms and turns into a "gummy bear/teddy graham" with arms & legs to what looks like an actual baby. The development is just so fast and amazing. Enjoy every minute of it - I'm so so excited for you!
