At the OBGYN we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time using the doppler, and the heart rate was 160. Dr. T. officially decided to make my official due date April 1st...which made me mad because now I have to go and change everything again... So if all goes well we will see him again in a month.
Then we went up to Dr. White's in Amherst for the 12 week ultrasound. At this appointment they check the baby for signs of chromosomal disorders, and send out a blood test to test the risk I have of having a baby with a disorder. The office was brand new, and full of very fancy stuff... the ultrasound room had a huge flat screen TV in it that we could watch the baby on. Here they are, the latest photos of baby Kerl:
The baby was flipping and rolling around the whole time, we got to see the tiny hands and feet and the bones and organs like the bladder and stomach. She took at bunch of measurements and said that everything looked really good, and that the baby is measuring a little small, but it's not a big deal. I could have watched that screen all day! But it's just really nice to see that the spot in the first ultrasound actually turned into a baby like it was supposed to!
