First ultrasound

This is our child.
10 weeks old.
The head is to the left, and arm and leg buds are visible to the right.

This makes me not worry about having a job.
This makes me hopeful for the future.
I’ve decided to nickname our kid “Yertl” for the time being. The turtlelike qualities brought it to mind. During the ultrasound, Yertl turned a somersault.

The heartbeat is 158 bpm, which is within the range of normal.

  1. Isn’t God amazing?!

    Yertl, you are already so loved – can’t wait to meet you!! 🙂
    Love, "Aunt Pam"

  2. You’re having a turtle? i.e. Yertl the Turtle. Really, he looks really cute (if I wasn’t just imagining it). I’ll be thinking about both, well, all three, of you.
