We finally got internet the other day so now I can catch up on my blogging on this chilly Saturday afternoon. This week was a busy one. We finished moving, we are trying to get settled in, and we had our first official doctor appointment! The appointment was reallllly long, but super informative. We chatted about family medical history, I got a nice little pelvic exam, got swabbed for some STD's and gave like 8 giant vials of blood. SO FUN! But, it was all worth it because we also got another ultrasound so we were able to stare at our cute little baby and take home a new pic for the fridge. It was pretty cool because not only did we see our baby's heartbeat, but I thought the little blob on the screen actually looked like a miniature baby, which made this whole process even more real. Our doctor said everything looked great, and the baby had a healthy heart beat, which I want to say was 168??? Shoot, I should have written that shit down. She also confirmed our due date, which is the same as my originally calculated date of September 2, 2013! She said she's estimating somewhere between the 2nd and 5th of September actually. We decided we are rooting for like any day after the 2nd because our doctor is on vaca for Labor Day Weekend. Which makes me panic. So I'm trying not to think about that possibility. So anyways, here is our 8.5 week sonogram. The baby is on the left, head down, tiny feet up, and the yolk sac is on the right, which I believe will be absorbed into the umbilical cord shortly.
And with moving and all the chaos this week, we totally forgot to take a belly pic, but I was able to manage to make a quick chalkboard.
