We have the first photo of our little "coffee bean"!
Our first ultrasound was this past Wednesday (April 4th). The little bean is healthy and doing well! We were able to see the baby AND see and hear the heartbeat! It was absolutely amazing!! The baby is about the size of a coffee bean right now (hence the nickname) so there isn't a lot to see, but we could see the tiny heart flickering on the screen and when the doctor turned on the audio we could hear it beating loud and clear. That was unbelievable - we weren't expecting to be able to hear the heartbeat this soon!
The doctor also found a second sac from the other embryo that was transferred during our in vitro. It appears the second one attempted to implant as well, but wasn't successful. We are definitely thrilled to have one though!
Here's the first picture of our little bean. The little peanut on the right side of the black oval is the baby. The circle to the top and left of the baby is the yolk sac (is this too much information?):

Isn't technology amazing? We are having another ultrasound two weeks from now on April 18th. The doctor just wants to be absolutely sure that there is nothing growing in that second sac.

Happy Easter everyone!!!
