Hello! :)
Just wanted to pass on a baby update!
Gabe & I had our second doctor's appointment on Wednesday. We were supposed to be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. The nurse tried first, and couldn't get anything. Then the doctor came in and he tried. Still nothing. Dr. Jensen said I was right on the line of being able to hear the baby, and it being too small to hear. Dr. said instead of waiting until the next appointment (4 weeks away!), that he would give us a FREE sonogram - just to ease our minds, and that we know for a fact that a baby's in there. Which - I've known for awhile - but I could telll Gabe was antsy. :)
They took us down the hall, and booted up their sonogram equipment. It wasn't as high tech as the machines that they'll use when I'm closer to 20 weeks. However, it was good enough for us to see our baby. :) I've attached a picture of what we saw. The baby's head is actually down towards the left, and the little things coming up from the bottom are his/her legs/arms. It kept jumping, and move around. The Dr. said that they called it 'hiccups'. We could see the heart beating (even though we can't hear it yet), and the little guy/girl was pretty active!
It was a very cool moment. Believe it or not, GABE was the one that teared up, and I held it together! Although I've probably cried 10 times since then (these hormones - I tell you!). They were also able to measure the baby - and by the measurement I'm almost 13 weeks along. Which is about a week farther along than what they first expected.
I'm feeling pretty good - tired, but that's typical! Gabe & I got everything moved to our new house in Wichita - unpacking? Well - that's a different story. This mama is taking it day-by-day, and room-by-room. :)
Love you all - and we'll keep you all updated as we find out more information about lil McBaby!
Tasha & Gabe
