The doctors appointment on Wednesday went really well! We had yet another new ultrasound tech. We liked her a lot since she played around and let us see the baby for about 8-10 minutes! Baby H was VERY active! He or she was using mom as a punching bag, even though I couldn't feel a thing! I said either the baby is awake or he or she sleeps like their mother does! The baby even took a second to wave at mom and dad! The baby was 6.75 cm long. On the day of the sono, I was 12 weeks 6 days along. The baby was measuring at 13 weeks 1 day. The tech said this was the last time they would be able to measure the baby this way and from now on, they will use the weight of the baby to monitor their progress.
After the sonogram, we met with Deb. Like always, I had a bunch of questions. And like always, she was happy to answer them! We did get some news that was not as exciting, but it was nothing bad. She said because of the location of placenta, I probably won't be able to feel the baby move until around 20-21 weeks. The placenta is in a great position (top front side of the uterus), however it will buffer the babies movements so it will take longer until I feel the baby move. It was nice that she took the time to explain this, so I was not worrying when I couldn't feel the baby.
We were going to start going to the doctor every 4 weeks now, but I have to go back on 02/2/2011. Deb was going to give me a flu shot since I'm out of the 1st trimester, but since I was getting sick on 01/19/2011, she wouldn't give it to me. So when I go back I'll get the flu shot, have a ton of questions, and we will listen to the heartbeat with the doppler.
So to sum it up, as of now, Baby H is doing GREAT!!!!
Thanks for keeping up with our little Jelly Bean! I will be sure to keep everyone updated!
