We went in for our 2nd appointment Thursday (8/25) morning and we heard a sound that makes everything a little more real for me and a sound that brought tears to my eyes.
Our Little Baby's Heart Beating!!
It was fast, about 170 bpm. Heidi Mcsweeney, the NP, told us that by the time our baby's born the heart rate will have slowed down to 130 bpm. Its amazing how fast it is and that it really does have a heart and that a little person is growing inside of me!!
So last Sunday we were at 13 weeks. This is the last week of my first trimester! :) YAY!! (not that I have been very sick at all, I feel so lucky and blessed with that!) On our ipod we had a pregnancy mapper and it updates us on changes and the growth of our little one. Nathan and I had gone home to Las Vegas to visit our families one last time for the summer before school started up for both of us again. It was so great to be with family, talk and squeeze on them! Oh, We love them so muchly!! Well at our family lunch on Sunday Nathan pulled it out and started reading. 'This week our baby's fingerprints are fully developed. He/she is the size of a medium shrimp now and responds to light and has reflexes', so if i were to poke my stomach the baby would react to it...I just can't feel it do that yet because its still too small. The private parts of there, fully developed but still to small to see. If its a little girl all her eggs are fully formed and in place in her ovaries. So we were joking about it and said that if its is girl then I'm carrying not only my baby but my
future grandbabies! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
We are so excited to be having our little baby! Its real! Con you believe it?!
