This Monday, I had two baby appointments. One appointment was with my doctor to just check in for week 12. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat and my doc said everything was looking really great. My second appointment was to have an ultrasound to measure the fat flap on the back of the baby's head. From the moment the baby showed up on the tv screen they have mounted on the wall I could not stop smiling. I watched the baby moving its arms and legs...bouncing around. It was an amazing feeling. The baby was being a little stubborn about moving into a position where they could measure what they needed so the ultrasound tech took lots of extra pictures for us. We got pictures of the baby's legs crossed, hands, face and profile. It was so awesome to watch it moving and see the little heart beating. The heart rate of the baby was 159.
My next appointment is in four weeks...just a normal appointment. In about eight weeks we will be finding out if it is a girl or boy!!!! :) My mom will be flying up to go with us! Nathan's mom is planning on going with us also. It will be a wonderfully special day.
I just cannot believe that I am already in my second trimester. I was right at 12 weeks along on the day of my appointment. I know that this whole process is going to fly by. I have been feeling good...no real illness. I have been tired but nothing a little extra sleep can't cure. :) I am truly blessed so far.
