6/8/08 Dr. Appt & Ultrasound #2




We are officially 10w 2d today. I went in for a Dr appt as scheduled (I go once a month right now) and the nurse/doctor could not find the heartbeat with the doppler so I was sent to the ultrasound room. I called Jason immediately to get him down to the office to see it, but he missed by only 3 minutes.

The woman performing the ultrasound had no problem locating the baby and the heartbeat. It is now at 169 BMP and measures 1.25" long. The reason why the doppler couldn't pick up the heartbeat was because the baby was hanging out by my back instead of my stomach. The little booger was moving like crazy - waving both arms (You can see the right arm waving at the camera in the pictures above) and wiggling around.

As you can see, the newest Ward is developing quickly and now looks more like a baby than a bean from the last ultrasound. The next Dr. appointment isn't until July 3rd. And I found out officially that 20w is when most women are showing, when women start feeling the baby moving, and when they can see if the baby will be a boy or a girl. So, I guess we have 10 more weeks until we find out!

Keep us in your prayers & thoughts to keep this a healthy baby...and born in DECEMBER!!!!
