My baby is no longer an Alien...

I had my fourth ultrasound this morning.  DH and I can't ge over how much our baby has grown.  It has gone from looking like an alien to a cute little gummy bear.  I'm 8w4d today!  The baby was moving around and flipping and kept putting it's hand up to it's mouth.  RE said that since we have a baby with cardiac and movement, miscarriage is at a 5% rate right now.  That is a blessing to us after going through 2 miscarriages.  I have one more visit next week with RE and then October 29 I see my OB.  We haven't told any family or friends yet that we are pregnant.  We have planned to tell after our OB appointment.  We are going to have a nice collection of ultrasound pictures to share.  I'm just so excited about my baby.  For some reason I want to say "him"... We are going to have to come up with a name to call "it" until we know.

Krushing I can't wait to see your ultrasounds!  Very exciting that by the end of the month you will be with your OB!!!  Do you happen to know how many beats per minute the heart was going?  

I think you should call your baby until you know the sex, lil gummy bear  that is adorable!  :)

LOL, I was...but you know how that goes...  Hubby leaves again today for another fishing trip and will be back Saturday, so hopefully I can get them all scanned when he returns.  It seems the scanner doesn't like me...
