First Photo

Baby-T is really in there! Angela had a 7-week sonogram yesterday and we got our first baby photo. Since Amod wasn't present during the appointment, he had to wait until Angela got home from work to see. When Angela walked through the front door yesterday evening, Gertie was barking up her normal "welcome home" yap-a-thon and Amod kept calling out "First Photo, First Photo" over and over. Angela didn't know who to tend to first with all the racket.


In this image, the whole gestational sack (black area) is about an inch across and our little embryo is just 1cm long at the right edge of the sack. Angela could see the little heartbeat flickering on the screen which was so cute and rapid. So far so good!

The last 2 days has been fairly symptom-free and Angela has had good energy. Unfortunatly, those absent symptoms have been replaced by springtime allergies. Amod on the other hand is battling his own bouts of intermittent illness and nausea. Hmmm, couvade syndrome perhaps? Angela is being supportive and encouraging for Amod, reminding him that "he's" already half way through the first trimester and to hang in there.
