My First Prenatal Appointment and Ultrasound!

I went in today (well actually yesterday) for my first prenatal appointment. I had no idea I was going to have an ultrasound, so you can imagine how excited I was when my Doctor told me!

This is my ultrasound picture close up with the baby circled:





This is the whole picture:






So, the doctor measured the baby during the ultrasound and told me that the baby is 1.3 cm. The size of a Lima bean. Soooo tiny!

He also said that the baby's measurements are putting me at being 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant right now. With a due date of November 15Th. However, he also said that just 5 days is not a big deal and we are going to keep my due date of November 10Th and say I am 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant. He said that you really have 2 weeks on each side of your due date that its OK to have your baby in. Which is good, cause my pregnancies are known to go over and past my due dates....

It was still too early of course to hear the heart beat or tell what sex the baby is. But just seeing the baby on the screen was amazing. Every time the heart would beat, the baby would move and it was like he (or she ) was all over the place. It was really cool.

Lisa was able to see the ultrasound too. That was a first time experience for her. She recorded a video with her cell phone, and is the proud big sissy!

My next prenatal appointment is 4/28/08.
