Here is our latest glimpse of our 'little turkey.' When the ultrasound first started, the tiny little image gave a big stretch. The little features are easier to distinguish, and pretty darn cute if we say so ourselves. We also heard the heartbeat, and actually saw the little heart fluttering. The turkey is measuring 4 cm, which is right on track.

I have to say that it is adorable when we hear the heartbeat. Jon's smile could light up the room. He is being such a wonderful daddy as he takes care of a mommy who isn't having the greatest time of things. I've been sick. Not just in the morning. Whenever the mood strikes, I feel ill. I had to receive IV fluids a few weeks ago, and spent the rest of the weekend in bed. Although I do enjoy sleeping, there are many other things I'd like to be doing. I hear this gets better in the second trimester, and I am looking forward to that.

Meanwhile, I get to spend my 35th birthday home from work, trying to hydrate and eat. I never thought those things would be this challenging. I did find out last night that a good friend is also expecting. That makes 3 of us braving this together. It does help to know there are others I can share this experience with. And since they've had kids before, they can answer some of my many, many questions.
