This is our first baby photo:
As you can see, the baby's still quite small. From the measurement taken of the top of the skull to the bottom (end of the spine) they estimated 14 weeks and 3 days, giving a due date in early December (11th?).
Now, I've never been able to see much in ultrasounds of babies on TV, but when you're actually there, and the foetus starts doing the macarena, it's pretty awesome - and pretty easy to see that it is a tiny little person. Some of the stills from the scan are reasonably clear though - like this one that shows the head, the spine, and one arm:
Anyways, I'm sure we'll take millions of photos of our kid, but there is no question that these are the first ones :)

Although it's an ultrasound, so could perhaps more accurately be called a sonograph, I held up the printed out film thing to the light and took a photograph of it with our digital camera. So I maintain that it's a photograph, even if it is removed by one degree (and 2 hours real time).
How beautiful! and very clear. congratulations again to you both. what a great birthday present!
Congratulations! The one piece of advice I can give, given my limited life experience, is, do not, however tempting, let an online message board name the baby.
It never turns out well.
Exciting! Won't christmas be mad! Are you marking again this year?
:)
There will be no marking in the house this December - not even of our own classes' work :)
