had our first ultrasound today. i am participating in a study that measures uterine blood flow. basically, i have an extra 5 appointments throughout the pregnancy with an ultrasound at each one. so, it was awesome to get pictures so early. rick was on his way to california with the softball team so he was unable to join me. i got to see and hear the heartbeat — that was really cool. probably the best part about participating in the study is that i get a $25 target gift card at each appoinment. woo-hoo!!
