On Friday, August 20th we had our routine (monthly) visit with the doctor. We are currently on "rotation" to visit each of the doctors that work with the OB GYN group/pracitce we are seeing for prenatal (and eventual delivery) care. During this visit we saw Dr. Karen Koe who was very nice, reviewed a couple of medical items, and used the doppler (is that what it is called?) to check mini-Walker's heart beat. This is the first time we've heard the heart beating (we've seen it on an ultrasound before) and it was amazing! Little Brandon/April had a nice strong heart beat that Brandon imitates as a "woosh woosh woosh". I was tempted to ask if it could just be my stomach since it has taken to talking to me lately but I figured that would just be silly. So, there we have it... two heart beats going on in April's body.
Today, Wednesday August 25th ends the last day of our 11th week! The baby is developing from a lime to a plum as we transition into week 12 and finish up our first trimester. April has been lucky to experience minimal "pregnancy symptoms". There was no nauseau and though there were bouts of fatigue it was nothing that kept her from her normal day-to-day activities. We have been eating out more often along with more sweets. At this rate, Brandon may start to show soon, too!
Currently, we have two appointments scheduled within the next month. An ultrasound will be done this Friday, August 27th as part of routine tests. We are hoping we see a picture of a bigger Baby Walker. The next appointment is scheduled for September 20th where by that time we should be finishing up our 15th week and closer to finding out if we'll be shopping for pink or blue!
Thank you to everyone for keeping up on our little bundle of joy's progress. We will be sure to update (and hopefully include a picture) after our next appointment.
