Baby Cronin is 7 weeks and 4 days old!

Today we had our first appointment and our first ultrasound. We saw these pictures of the baby and heard a healthy heartbeat!

Shamus is really excited and is telling everyone! He thinks it looks like a bat (because it's hanging by it's feet). You be the judge.
Karen is also very excited and was touched to see the baby and hear it's heartbeat. She is nauseas most of the day - but especially when she thinks about food or walks into the kitchen. She started a new "eating plan" today - so far she's had 2.5 tiny breakfasts and she's planning on having several teensy lunches and dinners. The doctors say this helps!
We found an excellent practice where we will have one doctor for the whole pregnancy. If you want to know more, check out http://carolinawomenshealth.org/index.php
We'll be under the care of Dr. Mazzoli!
Have some fun and cast your votes on the due date (doctors say Nov 24) and gender! (Scroll down - it's on the right.)
What a blessing we have been given!
