Sonogram - April 24, 2008 (Susan)

I had a sonogram today!
The technician measured Giblet from head to rump and determined "Little G" to be 39 mm - I am now 10 weeks and 6 days, putting my due date at about November 15th.
Unfortunately Giblet was still too small to do the nuchal translucency test so I will be going back for another sonogram on May 9th.
We did, however, get to see some really cool things like the heartbeat which we also heard and Giblet was moving its arms and legs around which was so cute and funny.
We are looking forward to the next appointment just 15 days away. In the meantime, here are some pictures from today. Enjoy!


Check out the big brains on Little G!


From the front, you can see the face.

First OB Appointment - April 4, 2008 (Susan)

I had my first OB appointment this afternoon.
I saw my doctor again who I hadn't seen in a few years, Dr. V. She was very nice and took time to answer all of our questions - or most of our questions - unfortunately my due date is still a bit hazy but she thinks it should be between November 13th and November 20th. We inquired about telling people about me being pregnant and she said it's a good idea to wait until after the first trimester (those are the doctor's orders moms )
There was no sonogram today but I have one scheduled for April 24th - three whole weeks away during which they will also do a nuchal translucency test in which they look for the folds in the baby's neck to determine if there is Down syndrome (sounds mysterious). They do this test for everyone nowadays.
That's all for now.
