Week 13

Where has three months gone?

1st trimester done and we are on our way to number 2.

As the weeks pass they are getting more exciting. Our Dr appt went wonderful last week. Everything was perfect. As I got my exam, the Dr. tried to find the heart beat with a hand held Doppler. (I wasn't scheduled for an ultrasound this week since we already had confirmation of a baby.) However...... she could not find a heartbeat. (She had warned me that it was a 50% - 50% chance so not to get too nerveous.) Since she couldn't find a heartbeat, we were able to get an unexpected ultrasound. (Which I was so excited because my mom was with us and I wanted her to see so badly) So, in the room we went for an ultrasound to find out that our little jelly bean was a jumping bean. The baby was moving so much and wouldn't keep still. It was so AMAZING to see the little arms and legs moving all over the place. The heartbeat was at 146 and everything was great.

So here we are at week 13. Fingerprints have been formed on the little baby's fingertips. The baby is almost 3 inches long and about the size of a medium shrimp. (No fruit object this week hopefully it will be back next, HAHA)

Until then hope everyone has a great week!!!!
