Everything looks great

We had another appointment today.  Everything looks great.  The baby is getting very big.  He/She has a very fast heartbeat, which is very good.  And I got to see it move yesterday, it was dancing all around the womb – seeing that was very amazing!!  I’ve been sick all this week, I apparently have the flu, the doc has put me on an antibiotic to try and clear it up.  I go back to see the doctor next Thursday, I see my regular doctor and my high-risk specialist…. until next week!!

Gaining weight

Well, we weren’t able to determine the sex of the baby yet.  Doctor said it will be another few weeks before we know.  But the baby is doing fantastic!  I’ve gained one pound this past week.  The baby now measures 20mm from head to rump.  His/Her heartbeat was a fantastic 179 bpm.  And we actually got to hear it this time.  That has got to be the most amazing sound in the world!  We are almost 9 weeks along, and our due date has changed, it is now May 3rd!  We will go back in a week.

Baby Updates

Another appointment with the doctor yesterday.  Had another ultra sound, the baby is growing like a weed!  Everything still looks perfect.  We’re a little over 7 weeks along now, and getting very excited.  We have an appointment 9/26/02 to see the high-risk specialist, and we’re going to be having a high-resolution ultrasound.  IF the baby is turned right, they think we’ll be able to find out the sex at that appointment.  So, if things go well, the colors for this site might take on a whole new look after next week!
