Week 7 Ultrasound


We walked into the doctor's office at 6:28 this morning, already third in line. Despite a short and groggy wait, we got good news: el marisco is 10 millimeters long, right on track for 7 weeks 1 day. We also saw the heartbeat for the first time.

Happy times!

  1. It is so magical how one day there is no heartbeat, and the next there is. How does that happen!? Amazing. So happy for you two. What is a marisco?

  2. Translates as "invertibrate seafood," but I'm using it to mean "shrimp". I'd probably be better off using "camaron" or "langostino," but I like the ring of marisco.

    And that about exhausts my knowledge of Spanish.
