First glimpse...

We had our first appointment today, to confirm the pregnancy. And confirmed it was! I heard its heartbeat, and saw the tiny little blob, measuring 3.8mm, via internal ultrasound.

As I thought, I ovulated earlier than usual so while my LMP says I should be 6 weeks pregnant, I am closer to 7 (yay!). Dr Katayama said he'll be able to confirm my due date at my next appointment in 2-3 weeks, but I suspect it will be around 26 January. We'll have to wait and see!

Billy and Nug came with me to the hospital, and there was a newborn in the waiting room, crying that unmistakeable newborn baby cry, and Billy was a little unnerved by it. First he seemed concerned, then he became frightened and just wanted to sit on my lap and watch. I'm sure it won't take him long to get used to it, come January. We bumped into the Hills as we were leaving the hospital, so there was absoloutely no hiding it. Busted!

It seems silly that, about a week ago, I was concerned because I wasn't 'feeling' pregnant, when I should have known better. Here I am today, struggling to eat, drink, and basically, function. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'd prefer labour and delivery over this any day.

So, that's the latest! We're pretty excited and it feels even more real now that it has all been seen and heard.
