I know the due date!

I went in to the doctor's today to see about baby #2. I probably wouldn't have come in again so soon, except that at the last appointment, I was so early on that they couldn't even see the baby in the gestational sack. Last time, they estimated that I was somewhere around 6 weeks.

They were pretty much right! Three weeks later, I am 8 weeks 5 days along, only 2 days short of what they guessed. That puts my due date at February 16th, 2011. We could have a Valentine's baby!

They gave me some pictures from the ultrasound, but because our printer/scanner/copier is pretty much busted, I can't upload them. :( It was pretty cute though. I asked the nurse what everything was (because it looked like a little blob at first...). She said that the baby was looking at us, with it's head on the left side of the picture. It had these two little blobs under the head that were the arms - my favorite part of the picture! Then there was the belly and little protruding legs and cord, with the yolk sac at the far right end. It's funny how that's all you need to see - a little blob that will become a person - to fall in love. <3

Since I can't post the ultrasound pictures, I'll post a picture from the babycenter website of what the baby should look like right around 2 days from now (sorry if it's too graphic for your taste):
