Our Baby is a Growing Machine!
It's Friday already! So, we had our appointment on Monday and everything looked normal! The baby now looks like a baby and not like a dinosaur! S/He has a little body, arms,legs and a head! I think this baby has my dads dancing gene, cause at the ultrasound he or she was dancing all over the place! :) It was so cool! The heartbeat was 189 beats per minute, a lot faster than the 7 week U/S. My doctor wasn't what I had expected based on the reviews I read. He was very short with Chris and I. He cut both of us off mis sentence numerous times. Chris spoke up & I was proud. I'm being transferred to the perinatal specialists due to being high risk. I'm OK with that though. Especially since, a. I don't like this doctor, b. I'll have better care & be watched closer and c. I think it's a little closer!
Last night we told my parents & they both took it surprisingly better than I thought. I know our situation isn't ideal right now. Now we just have an even stronger drive to get back on our own ASAP! Mom & Dad both seemed to be genuinely happy. Dad is probably worried. Don't worry Dad. Enjoy that your gonna be a grandpa! We'll be alright, I promise!
My next appointment is next Thursday! 6 days!!! I think I'm getting another ultrasound by the way the nurse made it sound. Then my first appointment with the perinatal doctor is the following Monday! 10 days! Unless something really awesome happens between now and then, I'll update after my appointment Thursday!
we love you little one!
love mommy+daddy

Kelly we are very happy!! I was always rooting for you. I have been waiting for this day for a long long time. It does seem strange now that I'm thinking about it. I still see you as that 2 yr old with the biggest, wide-open mouthed, most happy laugh that you ever saw! Remember your 1st Christmas pics? You never just smiled, it always was with a full-on laugh, they went together. It is hard to see you in my mind grown up. I haven't let you go yet as my baby. Everything that happened from the time you were 1-2yrs old and now is the "filler". The outside is what you see and what you'll remember the best. No one remembers the " cake" itself, they remember the frosting and the way i looked on the outside!..I'll never forget how happy you always were. I had you most of the time, but you definately were a "daddys girl". Oh and after you were born daddy had you and he put you to my lips, you had those precious bubbles coming out of your mouth and I got my firs kiss from you. I can still hear daddy talking to you and Grandma Bee, Uncle Dave and his wife your Aunt Pam. (I basically was exhausted and the meds they gave me for the c-section had me in and out of it, I also never opened my eyes after I got my first peek at you.)But sometimes I still "hear" them it's amazing. The very first time I really saw you was 16 hours later. When the nurse brought you into me to feed, I thought you were the wrong baby. I expected a brown haired kid, thats what my sisters had, I even expressed my concern to the nurse. They laughed! You wait until your time comes- it is the most fantastical thing that will ever happen to you. I am proud to be your mother and when you hold your baby the 1st time, you'll know exactally what I am talking aboutyour
