We've got a dancer!

Today was our 9 week ultrasound (well, 9 weeks and 2 days), and Baby Albert wanted to show off for us! I swear that our baby waved at us the first chance it got. Soon after, our kiddo started moving around for about 30 seconds! Our baby was dancing!

The little one was hanging out upside down today, happy as a clam. The arms and legs have definitely grown in the past week. Baby measured exactly 9 weeks and 2 days, and the heartrate was around 180 - right where it should be. Spotting has been minimal the past week, which has been a huge relief.

However, the nausea has been driving Julie crazy lately. She's had a lot of good moments, but more often than not, it hasn't been pleasant, especially at night. We're hoping it'll pass here in the next couple of weeks after she stops taking the supplemental progesterone.

Next week, we are going to try and use a doppler at the OB first before doing an ultrasound - if it works and we hear a heartbeat, we won't need to do one. Once again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers - it's truly made a difference!
