Here's baby bean/olive!! Little arms- and legs-stubs, and all!!!
We had such an exciting doctor's appointment today!!! This was our first real ultrasound! The first one we had at six-weeks was just to confirm a heartbeat, validate the pregnancy, and measure the little peanut, but TODAY we actually have a baby to see!!! Baby is doing great and exactly on schedule for September 16th. S/he is the exact right size, and has a heart beat of 159 bpm!!!
We saw Dr. Beard for the first time today and reviewed some questions we had and information about the baby and my blood results. Everything looks good and everything is normal! We asked her about waiting until 12 weeks to reveal the pregnancy, but she told us that everything looks really good and the heartbeat is so strong that she didn't think that things would be much different at 12 weeks than they were now. So...with her thumbs up we are all set to start surprising the families!!! Can't wait!!!

Baby is the size of a large green olive!!!
Seeing as I love to eat green olives in three ways (by themselves, as olive oil, and in cocktails...which I am not enjoying right now), I do not have any great recipes incorporating green olives. If you have one that you love, please share!! :)
