Baby #3 Update
Well today was a much anticipated day for us today. We had our first ultrasound of Baby #3. I am 7wks today according to cycle dates (actual embryo measurement had me at 7wk 5d), but we are continuing to use the original due date of August 21st. It was great. There is 1 baby growing inside, and everything looked perfect so far. It took FOREVER to get this video to where we could upload it so it's a little small, and no audio, but you can see the picture. You can see the heart beating, we could hear it with the ultrasound, it was perfect, fast and regular beating away at 156 bmp. It will slow down the next several weeks. We can get a DVD of any ultrasounds that we get done for $10 so why not. It was just me and Jeremy at the appointment today which was kinda fun, so future appointments, we'll have to figure if it will be a family affair.
We like my doctor, it's just a HUGE clinic. There are 11 doctors, we were really impressed with the organization of everything, we sat in a total of 3 waiting rooms and were in and out in 1hr. Pretty good for today I thought for a late afternoon appointment. My next appt. I will be 12weeks, and we should hear the heartbeat with doppler. So exciting. Our friend kept the kids this afternoon for us, and when we got home Hannah wondered where the baby was?? I told her several times we were just going to take a picture of the baby, but she thought we were having the baby today. I love the minds of 3yr olds. She is so cute, and curious, and fun. She asks all the time how big the baby is. Now she hold her fingers apart about an inch and shows you this is how big the baby is. Love it!!
Hope the video comes through ok.
****Ok video material, since it's kinda small and no audio, look closely and you can see the flickering heart beat. Then the ultrasound tech is using her mouse to measure from crown to rump (right to left). She then is pointing to the heart to measure the heartbeat. We could hear it, sorry no sound for yall. Then she proceeds to look at my ovaries right and left which look fine, so well you get to see them too. I guess not too many people have seen my ovaries?! Maybe this will explain a little of the footage.****

Im sure Hannah is WAY into all this. Have ya'll thought about her being in the delivery?? Too scary?? I dont even know if they let kids in for surgery (C-sec). Just wondring
Love you all, Mom/Me-maw
Yay for a great appt and seeing/hearing the heartbeat! I had my last ob appt yesterday and thought about you having your first for this baby. I had to always show the boys the size of Rayleigh at different stages too, kids are too cute.
I love it! It is pretty amazing that little pea turns into these beautiful children. so excited for your family! you may have to get a van though huh?
I think the heartbeat is the most beautiful thing to see. Amazing to see!
