today was our first post-conception visit to the ob/gyn, and here are the pics.
the ultrasound was fantastic. we were able to see the darkness of the eye, the faint line of the umbilical cord, and - freakiest of all - the racing pulse of the heart. i just wish the scan output quicktime movies so you can see just how fast it was beating.
the doctor said all looks good - 'very photogenic' - so now we get to tell everyone. and i mean everyone. sounds cliche and so boring to the uninitiated, but, man is it cool showing people these pictures. i suspect it'll be less fun showing pics once the little one is born.
and in case you're wondering - and most people are - we don't have names agreed on yet, but we did come up with a pretty good nickname, at least for the short-term. we think we're going to call _him_ 'wretch'. why? because right now, everytime _his_ mother thinks about what's happening inside her body - and sometimes when she's not - nausea rears it's dry-heaving head, making her feel like she's going to....
( notice the subliminal reference to the little _guy_ as just that, a _guy_? yeah, i know you did! )
