Eddie picked me up from work this afternoon and took me to our 2nd Doctor's Appointment. He was so sweet, I didn't have time to make my lunch this morning, so he brought me lunch...we had a Chick-Fil-A picnic on the way to the doctor's office. It was quite tasty, Baby Webb really enjoyed it.
Baby Webb is doing absolutely wonderful. They said the heartbeat was normal (around 165-167) and that he/she is about 3 cm long. I have only gained a little over a pound, which was a huge sigh of relief for me, I was really expecting more than that. The best part of all, we had a 2nd sonogram....not only did we get to see how big Baby Webb has grown, but we got to hear the heartbeat (it was so wonderful to hear that little sound) and we got to see him/her move (Our baby actually moved. It was absolutely amazing!!). And even better, Baby Webb no longer looks like a little blob, he/she now really looks like a baby!! I could totally see the profile of the face and a little arm...I can even pick out the nose. So, watch out ladies...our baby is already looking like the cutest baby ever...I think you have some competition on your hands!! :)
Oh, but I totally misunderstood my doctor. We are not due January 20th, we are due January 12th. I thought, by my count, that the 20th seemed late, but figured the doctor knew way more than I did (all I have to go on is what the books say), so I didn't question her. So, MANN, I'm going to be far along come Christmas...I guess I can dress up as Santa this year...I'll definitely have the belly!! :)
Today marks 10 weeks. My doctor schedules appointments about 4 weeks apart, so we'll have another "Doctor's Appointment" update in about 4 weeks.

YAY for a great appointment!! You should be able to know the sex at your next visit!! How exciting!!! Did you opt to do the NT screening? Maybe start a baby sex guessing game (http://www.expectnet.com/) so we can all guess on what you're having! :) :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've been meaning to tell you, you are going to love having a winter baby. When you are giant and terribly uncomfortable in the 3T, it's so nice for the weather to be cooler. Plus, the weather is nice when baby is around 6 months old (and starts being fun to play with!) I am so excited for you!!
Yes, we are having the NT Screening. We are actually hoping to find out then what we're having. My regular doctor told us yesterday that we won't have a sonogram during the next visit (which is during the 14th week), so I'd have to wait until the 18th week to find out. Lindsey said she found out during her NT Screening, so that's what I'm hoping for.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have very happy that we got pregnant in time for a January baby. Normally I'm a very cold natured person, so I didn't think the summer heat would bother me as much as it bothers others, but OMG my body temp has changed...I can't last longer than 5 min outside. And I'm not even big and round yet. :)
Thanks for suggesting www.expectnet.com. I'll definitely have to check that out.
