After our vacation in August, Chris and I had planned to start a family. We were very fortunate to have been successful right away. We had our first ultrasound appointment yesterday (10/2/06). We were also able to see and hear the heartbeat(118 beats per minute). In this ultrasound, the baby is at about 6 1/2 weeks. This Thursday (10-5) s/he will be at 7 weeks. In the pictures below, the pointer is pointing at the baby only, the round image is the yolk sack, which is outside of the baby for now I believe.

As far as how I am feeling, I have nausea all day long, but not actually getting sick. I have a new craving every day and can only eat what I am craving otherwise I am ill. Chris has also developed "sympathy pregnancy symptoms" with his new found cravings and fatigue ... gosh, it must be tough being the guy ;)
