December Ultrasound

Today I had my first OB appointment on base. I was excited to hear that they would be doing another ultrasound. This ultrasound was MUCH better than the first one that I had. The doctor said that everything looked great and that my due date is July 12th, which means I am 10 1/2 weeks. I am almost through the first trimester! The best part of the ultrasound was hearing the heartbeat. It was amazing. He said it was beating at a healthy 170 BPM. I was also amazed to see little arms and feet and the doctor even got the baby to move around a little bit. It was a relief to know that the baby was healthy and doing well. My next appointment is on January 22nd, which will be my 15 week appointment. That will be my last appointment on EGLIN AFB before I move to Tampa. I hope that my move to Tampa will be a smooth transition into another good OB clinic. I should be able to find out the sex of the baby at 20 weeks.

I saw a baby and heartbeat!!

After two weeks of waiting and wondering I finally had my 2nd ultrasound today. I was so pleased to see a healthy baby and heartbeat. Dr. Dress said everything looks fine. She said I am probably a little earlier than I thought. She said probably around 7 weeks, rather than 8 weeks. She calculated my due date to be July 23rd, rather than July 12th that I had calculated. I did not get a picture though. I think it is because she is just GYN, not OB, so she doesn't have the best ultrasound equipment. She referred me on base now, so I have to go to the OB on base to make my next appointments. Hopefully I will get a picture next time. I am feeling pretty good though. I am very tired and still making trips to the bathroom at night. I am also nauseous a lot, but not sure if that is the baby or just my nerves.
