I still get nervous before every ultrasound, but I think with every good one I get a tiny bit better. I honestly just kind of have to turn my brain off for the few hours before the ultrasound and just go in like everything is okay.<\/p>\n<p>Of course soon as she started the ultrasound I could tell it was there, and much bigger! It&#8217;s so funny to see it taking up so much of my uterus now! Soon the heartbeat came into view, and it just looked so much&#8230; bigger, stronger. The blob now has little arm and leg buds, and a huge head. I said, &#8220;It&#8217;s a Gummi Bear!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heartbeat measured 171 bpm, which has gone up just like it should. CRL measures 8w1d, exactly one day ahead, just like last time.<\/p>\n<p>And then she flipped a switch and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s a little early to try this, but&#8230;&#8221; and there it was, the heartbeat out loud through the speakers! Baby was facing us straight on, heart right out front, so she thought it would work, even early. What a gorgeous sound! I asked her for a printout of the screen too. It helps to replace old memories with new ones&#8230; to see a jagged heartbeat on the line.<\/p>\n<p>(Head is bottom right&#8230;. butt and leg buds top left, arm buds in the middle.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d.jpg\" alt=\"scan-8w0d\" title=\"scan-8w0d\" width=\"500\" height=\"366\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2423\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d.jpg 500w, http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d-300x219.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d-heart.jpg\" alt=\"scan-8w0d-heart\" title=\"scan-8w0d-heart\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2424\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d-heart.jpg 500w, http:\/\/lunardreams.net\/baby\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/scan-8w0d-heart-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m now released to my OB.
