Week 11

This week Scott and I went for our Ultrascreen Appointment at 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. The screening included a sonogram of the baby and a finger prick blood test. The sonogram was amazing - we got to see the baby move again, saw fluid in the baby's stomach and kidneys so we know the digestive system is functioning, saw the heart beating, two arms, two legs, and a cute little tip of a nose. This time the baby's heartbeat was 155.

Week 10

Baby has been busy this week developing finger nail beds, peach fuzz hair, and even taste buds. Baby is now the size of a kumquat and is exiting the embryonic stage and entering the fetal period. Yeah Baby!

Ultrasound (9 weeks & 4 days)

Now the size of a large green olive - Baby is doing great! Baby's eyes have eyelids, Baby's heart has all four chambers, and Baby is moving! Of course I can't feel it yet but I was able to see it on the ultrasound screen. So AMAZING!!!
