We have a mover and a shaker!

We had our 10 week 2 day US done today at the regular OB and it was AWESOME.  Actually awesome doesn't even do it remote justice!

I have loved all the previous ultrasounds.  And I certainly love hearing the heartbeat each time. 

But this time, the baby grew DRASTICALLY since we last saw him/her 2 weeks ago!  It actually is starting to resemble a little baby with a clearly defined head, spine, arms, and even "skinny little chicken legs" (came directly from my OBs mouth, not mine!). BTW Little Lerma, those are courtesy of your father!

We could see the heart fluttering away and even the 2 ventricles in the brain.  SO Amazing!

But the most amazing part was getting to see him or her moving.  Oh wow, Little Lerma is a mover and a shaker!!! Kicking those little legs all around, crossing arms over their chest....awww, it was seriously the coolest thing I've ever seen! You could even see the fingers and toes when the arms and legs were moving about!

Now I can't wait to feel those little flutters that will eventually turn into full on kicks! 

So just a few stats from today:

New due date: July 1, 2014 (just moved up one day which makes sense to me when I calculated it off my LMP).

My BP: 85/60 ...um, yeah so THIS is why I have been feeling so dizzy lately, especially when I go from laying to standing or sitting to standing! Note to self...no crazy drastic movements!

Baby's heart rate: 175 bpm

Baby measuring: right on track!

Next appointment: 2 weeks

 

And the best part, here's our Little One!
