Well today was a very EXCITING day! I had an appointment this morning and it went very well! She said the baby looks excellent and the heart is beating strong around 160 beats per minute! We are so thankful that our baby is growing like it should and that it is healthy!The Dr. also said the baby was measuring at 11 weeks and 5 days so that puts us with a due date of April 7/8. When she did the ultrasound my jaw dropped because of how much our "little bean" has grown. It is no longer a "little bean," it is now truly looking more like a baby It was so cool to see our baby move, stretch and kick! Such a surreal moment, and hearing the heartbeat never gets old, it is like Christmas morning each time, I love love love hearing the heartbeat! Scroll down to see the ultrasound pictures from today!
We have several appointments coming up, the first one is October 6 and at that appointment we will be getting another ultrasound and testing done for Down Syndrome, Neural Tube Defects etc. Then the next appointment with my Dr. will be October 19th for a checkup but no ultrasound. After that we will have our 20 week appointment on Nov. 18 which will include more measurements of the baby and an ultrasound! So we are going to be busy with appointments these next couple of months! But what an exciting thing to be busy with! We look forward to each appointment and learning about what the baby is up to! We also have an appointment on October 23rd to find out if we are going to be having a precious boy or girl! :) Only 4 1/2 weeks until then! Woo Hoo!!!
Overall I have been feeling spectacular!!! Me energy is starting to come back!!!Hooray!! I still have yet to get morning sickness (knock on wood!) besides having a bad sinus infection, I couldn't ask for a more perfect pregnancy! Phil is doing wonderful too, he is getting more and more excited every day about our little one! He has been so patient and understanding through everything, always going out of his way to make sure I am okay and comfortable! We love you all and I will update you all again after our October 6th appointment! With some news ultrasound pics too! We hope everyone is doing great and have a wonderful rest of the week!
This picture shows the baby's head (on the left), the spine and stomach and legs (on the right) If you look closely you can see the mouth, ears and eye! The 2 little dash like lines are where the heart is!AMAZING!
This picture shows the body and then the line from the baby's bottom to the head is measuring the baby which told us that the baby is measuring at 11 weeks and 5 days! you can see the head on the left, the stomach and spine (if you look closey you can see tiny ribs too!) then the legs on the right pointing downwards! I can't believe our little one is only about 2 inches long right now and already showing so many features!! It's so mind boggling!
Love Always,
Court, Phil and Baby Schoenfeld
