Things are trucking right along over here. We had our first ultrasound and 'new ob' appointment yesterday, everything looks wonderful :) Baby Bean was measuring right on track at 7 weeks 6 days. Heart rate was 175 bpm!! One strong healthy baby!!! I was kinda looking forward to two, but of course I am happy no less :) Who wants to see a picture???
At this point, I have decided to stay with my doctor instead of switching to the local Birthing Center. I just feel so comfortable with the entire staff, Courtney is accepted without question and it all just feels "right." I can still choose my own birthing plan, and I can choose to say no interventions if I want to. So this will be the route we take!
Our next appointment is in 4 weeks, no u/s at that one, just doppler heartbeat and regular check. Next u/s will be at 16 weeks...we will get to find out the sex at that appointment!! Even though its a whole 2 months away, it will be a super exciting appointment, maybe time will fly by?!
I will try my best to not be so radio silent from now on! I feel like maybe the sicklies are starting to back off a bit, *knock on wood* until next time :)
Yay!! What a beautiful looking picture!! So I am going to take a guess and say GIRL!
ReplyDeleteYay for a healthy looking baby in there! And I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful update. I am so glad you ladies are at a doctor's office you feel so good about. It makes all the difference! I am even happier to hear how well everything seems to be going. Still makes my heart happy to hear your continued good news!
ReplyDeleteHere is a cool way to determine the baby's sex sooner, it's called the Ramzi Method.

Congrats on the little bean!
Awesome! So glad all is well!
ReplyDeleteWoot for pictures and a healthy little bean in there! I am guessing girl too! My little girl's heartbeat was always fast, so I am basing it off that ;)
