First Glimpse of the Heartbeat - March 25, 2008 (Susan)

It was another early Tuesday morning appointment. This time Dr. M saw us.
I had another ultrasound and we were delighted to see our baby's heartbeat! It was truly amazing! Dr. M pointed out the gestational sac, the yolk sac and the baby (which is now about .33 cm long). She then focused and steadied the picture and pointed out a slight fluttering of the baby, it was its heartbeat. Dr. M said little Giblet is growing well and looks healthy. Also the blood from last week seems to be gone which is good news.

Here is the picture. Dr. M pointed out that it looks like a "signet ring." The yolk sac is the ring part and Giblet is the gem :) Enjoy!
