First Ultrasound at 8 weeks

Posted on May 18, 2009 - by Bradley Hebdon

On May 18th, we went in for the first ultrasound. Everything looking good so far, and the baby’s about the size of a kidney bean. Fins: check. Tail, check. Alien head, check.

Also, the technician informed us that the baby is a couple of days larger than the typical 8 week old fetus. Signs of a big baby-to-be, or simply an early growth spurt? Clues pointing to a boy perhaps? The speculation has begun.
