2nd Doctors appointment

Today was my second Doctors appointment. It was as exciting as the first, especially since it took forever to get into the appointment, which in turn only lasted about 15 minutes! The one exciting thing though was that we finally got to hear that little heart beat of yours!! I was so happy to finally hear that sound! It was the most amazing sound in the world! It has been so fun to see you and hear your heart, now I can't wait to hold you in my arms!

    11 Weeks!?

    Dear Baby, today Daddy and I got to see you for the first time! We went in for our first ultrasound and got to take a little sneak peak of you! You were quite the little mover! you were kicking your legs and waving your arms all over the place. It was so fun to watch you! I wish I could have watched you all day! It was mesmerizing! The Doctor measured you to see if we were as far along as we thought and guess what!? You were measuring bigger than expected so the Doctor moved the due date up, your new Estimated Due date is October 1st! One week sooner than we thought, So we are 11 weeks along instead of 10! I'm ok with that, the sooner I get to kiss your sweet face the better!



    At 11 weeks:

    Baby:
    •  You are about 2 inches long
    •  You weigh about an third of an ounce
    • Your fingernail and toenail beds are forming
