I meant to say more in my last post but I got distracted because I couldn’t upload the picture (I have an admin page I use to upload pictures to go along with blog posts, so that I can do it on a machine with no FTP client, or where port 20 is blocked, but it wasn’t working yesterday). By the time I walked Stephanie through doing it on the phone, I didn’t feel like writing much post to go along with it.
Some additional thoughts/comments:
They can’t determine the baby’s gender yet; it will be about two months before we know that.
The baby is about 2 cm long right now. That’s less than an inch!
We could see the heart beating on the screen, at around 170 beats per minute. That sounds like the baby’s about to have a heart attack, but they said that is a normal rate at this stage.
It may have been hard to tell from the picture, but the baby’s head is on the bottom-left, and is almost the same size as the rest of the baby.
Although we didn’t want to tell everyone at the time, this was the main reason Stephanie quit her job working as a pharmaceutical tester. Not exactly the safest environment to be pregnant in.
“Morning sickness” is a misnomer, it can occur at any time of the day; Stephanie gets it mostly at night, and it seems like every time we mention this to someone they say that they had worse morning sickness at night too.
I guess that’s all the additional information I have to share. So, umm... peace out y’all.
