Our 11 week appointment with the doctor was yesterday (May 23rd) and it was one that I was eagerly awaiting. Although we'd seen a little pea in the ultrasound at 7 weeks, I haven't felt much in the way of pregnancy symptoms. Sure, I'm hungry, tired and can't sleep through the night without using the restroom ... but, no morning sickness or even nausea. I guess that's a thank you to my Mom, aunts and grandma who I surveyed and didn't have it really either in their pregnancies. Phew! Happy to have that passed down :)
But nevertheless, I was eager to hear a heartbeat again and see that little pea grow into a rasberry (that's how the baby books compare it to in terms of size at 11 weeks). Well, are you ready to get excited? Take a look at this:
Amazing isn't it? Thanks to technology, I got to see my little 11 week-old baby in what the doctors refer to as 4D. He/She (won't know for another month or so) actually moved around and as you can see, was camera shy and covered his/her eyes when it was picture taking time. The baby has a very strong heartbeat of 176 bpm's (it was 154 bpm at 7 weeks) and everything's looking great so far.
My next appt. will be in another month at 15 weeks.
Little Baby Estes has already seen quite the adventures so far - he/she has flown to Omaha, Nebraska and Rapid City, S.D. (where I am right now actually) and David and I went on a helicopter ride Saturday. Quite the world traveler ...
We continue to be awestruck at this amazing news and thank you all for your support and encouragement.
Love you all.
