Last Thursday we had our second doctor's appointment (12 week). Very quick, but we got to hear the baby's heartbeat. Doctor said baby's heart beat is nice and strong. She hopes my nausea and sickness will subside soon (so do I!!!) and sent us on our merry way until our 16 week appointment in January.
On Friday, we went to a different office for our NT Scan (nuchal translucency scan) - this ultrasound is part 2 of a series of 3 tests that help to determine our risk factors for any genetic abnormalities. I also had the blood test done on Friday (part 1). Everything is measuring normally, which made us very happy, and our due date is still June 26. But what was even cooler was to see our baby moving around and actually looking like a baby (vs. blob of cells).
Baby was active and awake during most of the ultrasound and my favorite part was getting to see it move around and kick its legs and wave its arms. The machines at this office were super high tech. Our doctor told us this scan was really neat and she was right! Definitely made us look forward to our 20 week ultrasound (probably our last one!) - which is considered the "anatomy" scan. Although, we'll be asking to NOT be told the gender of the baby - looking forward to that surprise.
