Jumping Bean

Yesterday, July 8th, we had our next doctors visit. This visit they did some measurements on the baby's spine to test for birth defects, etc.. Basically just a check to make sure baby is doing good. This allowed us to get a nice long look at baby. It's a mover and a shaker. Once the ultrasound tech turned on the picture, you see little baby bohne just moving around, it liked to kick off one side of the womb and bounce around. Here's a few pictures:


baby's face is taking shape and it's getting bigger each time

more close up of the face, looks like they've got a little smile going.

Baby decided to turn towards the ultrasound and say hi (or say, quit bothering me in here) :)

The other great thing about this visit is we got to hear the heart beat for the first time. It was pretty amazing to hear the heart pumping away. 162 beats per minute which is normal for this time.

The tech also wanted to see if they could see any signs of sex of the baby. She looked, but couldn't tell anything at this time. I'm sure the next ultrasound we have, we'll be able to call it a he or a she.

The tech did all her measurments and said the baby is looking good.

After the ultrasound, we talked to one of the nurses and aside from Lisa coming off of morning sickness, everything is progressing normally. Our next visit is on August 4th.

We have a busy next couple weeks, so I'll try to update this before our next doctors visit. Right now there isn't too much to talk about, but once it starts getting closer to the due date, there will probably be daily updates, and then after the baby is born, I'll try to maintain weekly updates. till next time..
