We Have a Heartbeat!

We are officially expecting a baby on 7/19/13!  We had our first ultrasound today at almost 7 (6w6d) weeks along:

In the picture the baby is on the left and the yolk sac (where nutrients are coming from right now) is on the right with the yolk stalk connecting the two. We think it more looks like the baby is holding a party balloon though ;-)  Her/his heartbeat is at 132 bpm (video on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdhA28lpSss) which is great, they just want it above 120 at this point. Everything looks great, measuring right on track.  

The nurse did caution us that if there are genetic issues that between now and our next ultrasound at 9 weeks is when it would abort.  But the good news is that chance of miscarriage have now gone down to 5%

Thanks for all the good thoughts, they've obviously been working!
