First Ultrasound

We decided to participate in the UNC study so that we could get an u/s today. I always thought that I'd be emotional the first time we heard the heartbeat, but not even close. It was so AMAZING that all I could do was stare at the screen. Jeff was awe struck as well. Technology is cool. Here is a picture:



The baby's heartbeat was 152. An old wives' tale is that if it is above 140 then it is a girl! Howeverrrr, I'm craving salty foods, which is a sure sign for a boy. Guess we'll have to wait another couple of months to know for sure....
