PreNatal Sonogram & Doctor Visit

23 4/7 weeks
Today we went in to see Jody again for another sonogram. This time she was able to see your heart clearly. She said you're about 12 inches long and a little over a pound right now. My how you've grown over the months...time is flying by!

After our sonogram, I had an appointment with Dr. Olt. She measured me and listened to your heartbeat. It was 158 beats per minute. She said everything was measuring right on target for our due date. I also had my 1 hour glucose test...yuck! Everything came back fine on it though, thankfully! Today we set the date for your birth - the c-section will be done on January 31, 2006 at 8:00am. How exciting to know exactly when we're going to get to finally meet you!

Daddy Felt You Kick

21 2/7 weeks
Daddy was finally able to feel you kick today. It's still hard for him to catch it when you're moving enough, but I ate a lot of sugar, so you were moving all day! Lately I've been able to feel you move around all day long, you're going to be a very active child!

PreNatal Doctor & Sono Visit

19 5/7 weeks
Today I had an appointment with Jody, the sonographer at Dr. Olt's office. Both of your Grandmas and your big sister, Bella came because your Daddy couldn't get off of work. We got to see your little hands, feet, spine, legs, and you moving around everywhere. She also told us that you're a girl. After the sono, I saw Dr. Olt. She said everything looked fine and that your heart beat was 142 beats/minute. I will also be having a sonogram at my next appointment because Jody was unable to get a good picture of your heart. Hopefully we'll get to see some more good pictures of you at that visit.

PreNatal Doctor Visit

16 weeks
I had a doctor visit today with Dr. Olt (the sono picture above is from next month's visit). She listened to your heartbeat...it was 153 beats per minute. She said everything seemed to be moving along just fine and that next month we'd be able to have our second sonogram to see if you're a boy or a girl! How exciting!

PreNatal Doctor Visit

12 weeks
I saw Dr. Olt today. She listened to your heartbeat...it was still 170 beats/minute. She said it sounded good and strong. No need to come back for another month. The morning sickness/nausea seems to be going away. I'm still a little tired, but nothing that I can't handle. I can't wait to start feeling you kick and move around.

First Sonogram

9 4/7 weeks
Today I went in for my first sonogram. Right now, you look like a little blob. Jody measured you and said by your measurements she'd say you'll be due a week later than the date that Mary gave me at my NewOB visit...we'll see later on in the pregnancy. Otherwise, she said everything looked great. Your heartbeat was 170/minute. Nice and strong. (The sonogram picture is of your heartbeat.) I'm still very nauseated throughout the entire day, but I haven't gotten sick. I'm also tired, but seem to be able to get through most days without a nap...although it's nice when I can get one.

First PreNatal Visit

7 6/7 weeks
Today was New OB Nurse Visit. Not really sure why I needed it, other than to get my blood work ordered and my pre-natal vitamin samples, but oh well. She gave me an approximate due date - we will be meeting our second child around February 11, 2006...an early Valentine's Day gift. The only changes I'm noticing so far is that I'm very tired and a little nausea throughout the day. I've not gotten sick so far, so that's a good thing!
