One hundred and fifty six ...

... beats per minute!   That's how fast my baby's heart was beating during the ultrasound to confirm dates.  The crown to rump measurement coincides with a fetal age of 9 weeks, 4 days. (I'm 9 weeks, 5 days along according to my last menstrual period, so that's pretty close to on target).

Look at the cute little blob of a baby!

(In case you can't tell, the head is on the left, and the feet are sticking up in the air on the right.)
