On Wednesday, August 18th Phil and I had our first doctors appointment! It was the most amazing experience! We got a sonogram (see pics below) and the first thing the doctor said was that the baby looked great! We could see our baby's heart flickering (even though the baby is only about the size of a piece of rice) and we even got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!! It was the most surreal feeling seeing and hearing your future child's heartbeat!! The doctor said he thought we looked to be about 6-7 weeks along, so that would put us with a due date between April 8-12 but we will get a more def. due date at our next appointment! What an experience, We couldn't be happier and we are so glad that Baby Schoenfeld is doing great and looks healthy!! Phil and I can't wait until our next appointment on September 21st, the baby will be growing so much these next few weeks!
Being pregnant is such an amazing experience and to know that you are creating a little miracle in your tummy is mind-boggling!! I've been very lucky and have had no morning sickness (keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way too!) The only symptom that i have really experienced is being tired. Phil is also doing great, he is very excited and is looking forward to becoming a Dad which he will be amazing at!
The picture above shows where the baby is, it is in between the X's. The dotted lines are measuring how long the baby is. I was between 6-7 weeks.
This picture has two dash like lines. This is showing where we saw the flickering of the heart, and the soundwaves at the bottom of the picture is our baby's heartbeat!!
So exciting! YAY! :)
