Week 15

We've made it to Week 15. Actually, we're at 15 weeks and two days. The big news is that we had our first sonogram last week. What an amazing experience. My mom came up, so Mark, mom and I got to see our little person for the first time. He/she/it is a little more than 10 cm right now but the toes and fingers have formed. We saw it all on the sonogram. His/her heartbeat is also very strong. I was worried at first, but the doctor said that 150 beats/minute is perfectly normal. Whew! It was about 130 at first, but I think the little one wanted to show off for his parents and grandma. It's got to be a boy. j/k. We don't know whether it's a he or a she and at this point, we don't want to know. If anyone has a suggestion of what I can call the little one, please let me know. I have been calling the little one "My little squid."

Love you all

p.s. we decided against posting sonogram pictures and a bunch of detailed information because WAAAY to many things can be manipulated on the Web. I really don't want to become the next internet porn star...Needless to say, I'm actually beginning to show now!
