The hearbeat was 158 bpm (compared to 163 the first sono at 7.5 weeks)
And, from crown to rump...Baby J is 6.28 cm.
I have my next appointment with Dr. Walker next Wednesday and at that appointment we will discuss the sonogram and she will "take some measurements." This is just what I have been told. I am not exactly sure what these "measurements" entail...
Here is a picture of Baby J as of Thursday, November 3rd: (12.5 weeks old)
Isn't it crazy how you can see so much at such an early stage?!?!?!
Baby J was just kicking and moving around like crazy. Such an amazing sight to see! :-)
Update on K:
Well, my nausea seems to (for the most part) be gone. I just feel quite sick when I am either full...or have an empty stomach. I don't seem to be as tired all of the time, but yet a good nap or just laying down always makes me feel better.
Not craving much of anything as of today...but, I definitely went through my stage of Gardhetto's and Spaghettio's for a couple of weeks (about week 10 and 11) and before that it was orange juice (weeks 6-8ish) and salsa (weeks 3-5ish) The only thing that sounds great these days is cold fruit or frozen treats.
I don't officially have a baby "bump" per-say, but I definitely am not fitting into my clothes quite the same as I used to. I am wanting to wear anything that isn't clingy at the moment. But, of course that will change when I actually have a "baby J bump" and don't just look like a moo moo.
I bought my first maternity bra at 8 weeks...(quite an interesting experience)....and I just placed another order online for 2 more. These things are HEAVEN compared to anything Victoria's Secret has to offer~!
I already have people telling me what they think I am having ( uh, my father) but, nothing is for sure quite yet. I keep going back and forth on what I think Baby J is.....but, regardless. A HEALTHY (green-eyed) baby is all I ask for! :-)
Monday evening (2 days from now) is the night that we are going to tell Cam and Lyd about baby J....I am SO very excited about this because it has been very hard to keep this secret! Especially when Squid brings it up quite often.
For example: "K, you promised me you were going to have a baby........so, uh.......when are you?"
"You know what K?, I have decided to say 'when' you have a baby not 'if' you have a
baby." or, "Just imagine K, you will be pushing a REAL baby in a REAL stroller
someday" (this is when she is pushing her baby doll in it's stroller during our walks)
My favorite: "I want a little brother. I have always wanted to know what it's like to be annoyed.
Plus, if it's a boy and I have a friend over to play....he won't want to play with girl stuff
with us."
I will definitely post pics....or at least blog about Monday when we tell the kids. Until then.....I am off to lay on the couch! :-)
