New Date and Amazing Photos

Well due to some special circumstances, Jeff and I elected to have an ultrasound yesterday to make sure that everything was going okay. The Midwife says everything looks good but I will need to go back on pelvic rest for a few more weeks just to be safe. So I stayed home from work yesterday and today but hope to return tomorrow.

Jeff and I were excited about getting to see the baby since it has been 7 weeks since the first one but we were shocked at the difference. Last time at 6 weeks, we saw a circle with a heartbeat. But yesterday we saw a live moving fully formed baby. It was amazing, we could not believe what we were seeing and it made all of this seem very real.

This ultrasound suggested that our approximate due date is April 29th which is four days sooner than the first ultrasound. So that would make me 13 weeks 5 days along today. Hello second trimester......goodbye tired nauseating boring first trimester!!

Oh and yesterday also happened to be Jeff's birthday so he was very please to be able to see the baby on his special day. Happy Birthday DADDY!

Please enjoy the amaxing 2D photos. I have been staring at them since yesterday.

 The image above is the baby facing forward, notice the arms up by the head.

 The images above and below are profile. To me this looks like a very peaceful sleeping baby. Notice the hand up by the face and the legs at the bottom. Again, we are just amazed and actually starting to believe that there is LIFe growing inside me. =) Let the planning begin!!
