16 weeks

I went to the new doctor today and I love her and I love her nurses, so I am happy. I don't think they would have typically given me an ultrasound but they had just gotten a new ultrasound machine this afternoon so they were excited about giving some on it...I was only the second person they used it on. Anyways, below are some pictures, you can see the spine in one and two little feet in the other. I go back in four weeks then I also have a high tech ultrasound in four weeks to look at internal organs, etc. So that is exciting.

Anyways, I think that is about it, nothing else new to report.

Video

Here is a link to the video of the ultrasound and you can see the baby kicking and punching...very active and squirmy.  I couldn't get it to upload, so I had to upload to YouTube...I made it unlisted or private so you have to link to see it...it is unsearchable, not that anyone would be searching for us and this video...but still I don't want strangers to see it either...I like my privacy!  Anyways, it says it is 9 minutes...the real one was only 3 minutes, so I guess it's on a 3 time loop???  Who knows...
Check it out!

13 Weeks

We went to the doctor today, my last trip to this doctor.  Anyways, more of the same...our doctor appointments are pretty quick, she just does the ultrasound and that is really it.  The waiting definitely takes MUCH longer than the actual appointment.  Anyways, heart rate was 163bpm to 167bpm, she measured it twice so it varied a little.  It was pretty amazing because the baby was VERY active...he/she was kicking and moving its arms all over the place for a lot of the time...then the baby just settled down and stopped, I guess maybe the baby was tired.  The baby was measuring a little bigger than before, just over 13 weeks, which would be a due date of December 6th, but the doctor said the due date would be moved to December 8th because the other two measurements said December 9th.  So we are staying pretty close to the first estimate, so I will still just keep saying/planning on December 9th because we already knew it could vary by a few days or a week and I don't want to just start saying a day here then next time have it move back a day or two...just silliness.
So here are a few pictures.  We got a video of the ultrasound, which will hopefully shows the baby moving, but it was moving a lot before the doctor started the taping so I don't know if it caught all of it.  Our friend here in Lubbock can convert the VHS to DVD for us, so we will post that later in the week.
