On January 8th, 2008 we had our very first ultrasound of our little peanut. We could only see the gestational sac. It resembled a jelly bean and at that point we could not see the heart beating yet. It was amazing though!
The most exciting moment was on January 21st when we heard our babies heart beating for the first time at 7 weeks along! The little beating heart was the best sound ever!!! The heartbeat was 148 beats per minute. Our favorite nurse Jean, told us things looked awesome at that point. After this appointment we felt we couldn't wait any longer to tell all our friends and family. Everyone was VERY surprised and so happy for us. We had taped the heartbeat on a Build A Bear sound chip and played the babies beating heart. Then we went to Build A Bear to have a little stuffed animal made for our little Baby Baier!
Our next doctor appointment was February 11th. At 10 weeks, we were so happy because we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. This time it was on a Doppler machine. The heart was beating 164 beats a minute today.
