Patterson Family: Ultrasound

Today was the day I had been waiting for!! I was doing pretty well until about an hour before my appointment when I just got so nervous. My heart was practically beating out of my chest...so much so that the girl who took my blood pressure said she could hear my heart beating!

My doctor didn't waste any time getting to the ultrasound.

We saw baby right away and then saw the little heart beating away!

The heartrate was 167bpm and baby measured 8 weeks 1 day (closer to my original thought compared to 2 weeks ago when we were at the ER). The official due date is May 28, 2012!

8 weeks

This shirt is just like the one I wore for my belly pictures with Drake except in black. :-)

Can you tell they are pretty happy, too?
