Baby's now the size of a green olive!
Your little embryo has now graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitment a doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is starting to look like...well...a baby!
Symptoms: How can I still be feeling great!? I guess I shouldn't question it. Especially since we're flying to Florida tomorrow.
Weight: +.5 lbs
Milestones: 1st u/s last week!
Looking forward to: 12 week appointment on March 5. I'll be 11 1/2 weeks and we're hoping to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. If everything goes well we'll be telling my family on March 7th at my Grandma's birthday party. Her birthday present will be a picture of DS in his big brother shirt. She LOVES being a Great-Grandma and I can't wait to see her reaction that she's going to have another great-grandchild to love.
On Monday I went in for a nurse appointment. They are using the u/s due date of Sept 20 - which is 2 days ahead of my date. DS's u/s date was also 2 days ahead of my date. I'm still going to go with the ovulation date though since I believe that is more accurate. Even the u/s tech said that u/s dating isn't 100% accurate. I was asked a whole bunch of family history information and then given packets and more packets of stuff I'll have to go through.
It's amazing how many early appointment my office gives. I've heard that many women don't even get a first appointment until close to 12 weeks. I've already had a comfirmation appointment, u/s appointment & a nurse appointment. I feel so lucky!
