We had a busy week with doctors appointments. On Friday we went to get a sonogram and it was awesome. We saw your face, hands, feet, legs, everything! Your heart was beating at 176 bpm which the doctor says is strong. The sonographer kept trying to get you to move by jiggling Mommy's belly, but you weren't very interested, which was a bummer considering the jiggling was not comfortable on Mommy's very full bladder. You did kick your legs a couple of times on your own time and that was pretty awesome. During the sonogram they looked pretty closely at the fluid behind your head to find out if you might have any conditions but all looked good. Then on Wednesday we went to see the doctor for our monthly checkup and got to hear your heartbeat again and it was beating at 174 bpm. It just doesn't get old hearing that heartbeat! The doctor says once you get bigger in Mommy's belly that your heartbeat will slow down but never below 120 bpm. This week you're about 3" long and the size of a lemon or peach. Check out the pictures below.
This picture shows your head on the left and your little body on the right. You can even see a little foot at the top right of the picture. It really just looks like a white splotch, but the sonographer guaranteed us that is a foot! Daddy and Mommy think it's very appropriate that the shape of the black space that holds you is a heart because we already love you so much!
This is a picture of your little arm. You can see your fingers curled toward the front on the left side of the picture. That was a pretty cool thing!
This picture shows your little thighs and butt on the bottom right and your legs in the v position going toward the top left. You can even see your little calves. It's so amazing that you're only 3" and yet so distinguishable in these pictures!
This picture is almost a duplicate of the first one but I couldn't stand to leave it out!
On Feb 19 we get to find out if you're a boy or a girl! We cannot wait and then we can finally start figuring out your name and buy some stuff!
