Ian and I went to our 10wk appointment in anticipation of hearing the heartbeat for the first time. Unfortunately the midwife could not find the heartbeat. She predicted the baby is a boy because boys always give her a hard time. Anyway, to find out what was going on and make sure everything was okay she did an "unofficial ultrasound". We were thrilled to get another peak at our little lime (Ian has an app on his iphone that tells us what size our baby is based on fruit). I thought I would share the ultrasound picture with you since it actually looks like a baby! He was sleeping and wouldn't move for us, but we could see a bright flicker in the middle of the chest beating away. So far everything looks great!
During our 12wk appointment we received another ultrasound for our nuchal translucency test. The pictures are almost identical to the 10wk ultrasound pictures, except our baby is now the size of a plum. The baby was yet again sleeping with his hand on his forehead. We did see him do a little jump during the test. We heard the heartbeat this time. What a beautiful sound!! It was beating away at 164bpm! A healthy baby!
