Baby's First Photos!

We had our first ultrasound appointment today. The baby is measuring at 12 weeks and one day. So the due date is June 5th. We got to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. It was beating so fast, the technician said it was about 165 bpm. It was very surreal for me. I'm laying there and looking up at the screen and am seeing this tiny little baby moving all around. It was so amazing to see. Chris was so excited that the baby was moving around as much as it was...he says that it's a sign of a little athlete!



Here's a little arm

Frist Appointment with Dr. Huh


Today we met with our doctor. She is very nice and calm. I'm sure she'll do wonders for me in the delivery room! Not much to report as I am just about 10 weeks along. I had to give a urine sample and get some blood work done. We didn't listen to the heart beat because it is too early to hear with the doppler. She suggested that we have our first ultrasound so I am going to make an appointment for that. At the ultrasound we will do something called a combined screening which looks for fluid at the back of the baby's neck and I will also have some blood work done to find any chromosomal abnormalities. So far everything looks good she says!
