Is there REALLY a baby in there???

So we've been asking ourselves this question since Jennifer's 3 (yes, 3!!) pregnancy tests came back positive!! It's so hard to believe that after 4 1/2 years and numerous disappointments, we are FINALLY pregnant! We had our very first ultrasound today, taking away doubts that we had as to the legitmacy of this pregnancy. Jennifer is only 5 weeks and 6 days into the pregnancy, but we were able to see a gestational sack, yolk sac, and the fetal pole. The baby is only 5 mm long but is already showing a heartbeat!! We saw the flicker of the heart on the ultrasound monitor, an absolutely amazing experience. We will be having another ultrasound next week to better track the growth of the baby and the strength of the heartbeat!!



Here is the very first picture of Baby Fort (so cute, don't you think?)....
