Houston, We Have A Heart Beat

We had our first (10 week) appointment with the regular OB on Friday and it was amazing! First of all because it is the first visit Steve has been able to make it too... He's in awe of the little bean and second because we finally got to hear the heartbeat! Even now thinking about it I tear-up. It's just so amazing to think only a few weeks ago it was a blastocyst and now it's a little human just hanging out in there. 

The heart rate is currently at 168, which according to old wives tales that means it s a girl. But we're still 50/50 on its gender, several other wives tales (no morning sickness) it's a boy. We can actually find out at 16 weeks what the gender is, but we haven't decided yet if we are going to.... Maybe we'll decide by next week. Here's our 10 and 11 week pictures.
