Our first Ultrasound...Without Pictures to Post....

So yesterday we had our first appointment with our doctor, Dr. Noorda. Everything went really well and he seems really nice and funny. When we had our ultrasound it was so funny. Now I know it's probably the same with all you guys and your first....your husbands were so excited they couldn't see straight. Jed is just the cutest thing ever. I love how I'm not the only one that tears up at things....not saying he cries a lot....actually normally he never does, but when it comes to Taddy (the baby...that what Jed calls him/her) he is a little emotional. I love him!!
So I can't wait to show off our ultrasound pictures...BUT... our brand new all-in-one printer will do everything but scan! It just won't work....needless to say Jed got kinda frustrated with it and had to just stop for the night. LOL. So we'll get it on here eventually!
Since we don't have a picture, I'll just have to tell you all about the baby. First of all the baby is 2.62 cm long and growing! and his/her heartbeat was 172 beats per minute. (Now my mom told me that means we are having a girl because it's over 140 bpm.....lol I love old wives tells...)
During the ultrasound the baby was putting on a show! He/she was standing on it's little head. I mean the baby was perfectly vertical, which help a lot in understanding what was what on the screen. The baby stayed perfectly still while it was picture taking time! And then all of a sudden he/she started wiggling around! So amazing to see the baby move. He/she is defiantly going to be a little dancer! LOL And then we heard the heartbeat......and I lost it. :O) WOW!!! Our baby is real!
And for a quick update: I know my last post was all about how sick I was, so I figured I should update that. Three days ago I stopped taking the prescription that the doctor gave me and I am starting to feel a lot more like me! The medicine made me sleep way too much and every time I stood up I felt like I was going to pass out. I have been feeling so much better! I still get sick in the mornings and early afternoons, but I can handle that! Thanks so much for all the advice!

Ok and one more thing. So Jed insists on taking a picture every Monday to show the progress... well the first few pictures were just plain scary... I looked like I was dying and my stomach didn't look any different. But this picture is the first that shows a little bump..... I went from nothing to this in two days! I also had to get a pair of maternity jeans! In two days I went from being able to use the rubber band trick with my normal jeans to wearing the pants out of the store because I couldn't imagine having to put them back on! LOL

  1. Kera, you're so funny, I really was laughing my head off last night. You look so great in this picture and i meant to tell you on Monday how much I loved your hair, so cute! I can finally see your "bump". I know you probably feels like it's huge. I'm glad you brought your little ultrasound pic over last night so we could compare babies
