Blurry, but distinctly baby-like

MILESTONE: first ultrasound

terrible quality, but this kid is a gymnast.  would. not. stop. moving.  (in all directions except the one they needed to measure).

PewPewPewPewPewPew....

-30 WEEKS

MILESTONE: heard heartbeat

Ben tells me it took 90-120 seconds or so for the midwife to find the heartbeat, and that she reassured me exactly twice that (a) it sometimes takes a while to find a heartbeat when you're only 10-12 weeks in and that (b) she was notoriously bad at finding heartbeats quickly.  I am convinced it took upwards of 10 minutes and that she reassured me about a dozen times.  She was very calming, but it was basically the longest 90 seconds of my life.
