A healthy baby grape


I had my first ultrasound for #2 today and everything looks great! I am always so nervous until the first ultrasound when I can actually see the little heart beat. It was really amazing. The baby is about one inch long, which is just about right for nine weeks. The books all say, about the size of a large grape...like we all don't know how long an inch is until it is said in reference to a food item...."an inch I don't understand...Oh, now I get it, it's a grape..." whatever, but this is seriously done through at least the entire first trimester. Week 5- which is when most people find out they are pregnant they tell you, "it's about the size of a grain of rice." Then you move on to the bean, the blueberry, the kidney bean(which must be bigger then the "bean" referenced in week 6), and now in week 9 we are the proud parents of a grape. Anyways, it was very fun to see our little grape on the big screen. Scott was able to come to the appointment also and he swears he can already tell that it is a boy. The Doctor and I assured him that that was an arm or leg and we will not be able to determine gender for a couple more months, but Scott was still not convinced. :)
