Ultrasound and 13 Week Belly Pic


Here's little baby from my Feb 22 appt. This is a profile view. Sorry it's blurry this is a pic of a pic.

This is baby waving at us. It was the coolest thing to see the little arm waving at us. It's kind of hard to tell in this pic.

This is at 13 weeks.

February 22 Doctor's Appointment

I was going to try to post pictures of the ultrasound but I'm still trying to figure out how to scan them so that they still look ok. I'll continue to work on that.

I had intended to go to this appointment by myself since both Jon and I work at the same law office it's kind of hard for both of us to leave at the same time. So I dropped Jon off and I went to my appt. When I finally got in to see the doctor (or nurse practitioner this time) she gave me the run down of what we would be doing during the appt. Jon had mentioned before that if they were going to do an ultrasound he wanted to be there. So when she told me very casually that they would be doing an ultrasound I immediately called Jon and said get over here as fast as you can. Fortunately our office is kiddy corner to Kaiser so he just ran over and made it just in time to see our baby waving at us and moving around. It was so awesome to see the little arm reaching up and waving back and forth. Jon and I both gasped in aw. She printed like 6 pictures for us including one with the arm in the air.

Everything else with the appt was normal, I don't have much of a family medical history which is a good thing. I always like to hear the doctor (or NP) say "Well, you're definitely pregnant!" For some reason that's very reassuring to me even though I can clearly see the baby myself in the ultrasound, I suppose it's nice to hear it straight from the professional though. Especially since I haven't noticed a whole lot of common symptoms except for being tired. Although by now I am in my 13th week and I am definitely starting to show :)
