We had visit #3 to the doctor today and all went well. It was quite a LONG visit and in the end 7 vials of blood were drawn for all of the various testing (good reason to eat Chick-Fil-A afterwards WITH sweet tea)! =)
Baby Hood was very active during the ultrasound. The nurse was trying to get 'it' to move around, but the pressing down would only make the arms and legs go nuts. It was really cute to see. The heartbeat was very strong at 172 bpm. It remained on it's tummy the whole time.
The also changed my due date back to Jan. 2nd (that was the original due date). So a New Year's Baby may be possible! So that makes me 11 weeks pregnant now. The first trimester is almost over!
We are thinking about going to one of the early gender detection sites for "Prenatal Imaging". They can detect the gender as early as 15 weeks and have really up-to-date ultrasound machines. I'm going to research that this week and hopefully set up an appointment for some time in the next 4-5 weeks. Very exciting!
I'm feeling good and enjoying my summer!
Enjoy the pic of Baby Hood.
Congratulations! That appointment is often long and a little overwhelming. It's so exciting that you are almost done with your first trimester. Enjoy your pregnancy and your contemplation of the little life inside of you.
