First appointment and baby's first photo

At 8.5 weeks, we finally had our first appointment. We were both feeling nervous and excited with so much information to take in and hoping that everything was A-OK. As dad predicted, there was no reason to worry, as we heard a strong heartbeat (160 bpm!) and got to see a picture of the beautiful little gummy bear sized-peanut (which promptly brought us both to tears).

baby's first photo - its even waving hello! friendly little peanut!

I have been noting all symptoms as the weeks are progressing, so weeks 7 and 8 have brought on the following: VERY tired, tons of napping, some food dislikes (I wouldn't quite call them aversions, as no nausea is involved) including chicken, eggs and coffee, and getting hungrier. I have still managed to escape nausea and morning sickness!
