First check-up & Ultrasound pics!

Well, things went really well at the doctor's today. I was about a week behind in my estimating, so I'm at about 9 weeks right now. Due January 24, 2008! I also learned that I have a tipped uterus (which really isn't a problem).

Here's the ultrasound pics. The first one is reading the heartbeat. The 2nd one gives you the best idea of what the baby looks like right now. Actually it looks like a little cashew. The 3rd and 4th pics I think are from the back of the head to the butt, so you're viewing the baby's back. It was to measure the length.

We got to watch the heart fluttering on the screen too, it was pretty awesome. :) Click on the pictures to see them bigger.

After that we went over to the hospital for some routine blood work. And I saw the most well-behaved, not-even-2-years-old-yet triplets, 2 boys and a girl...they were adorable, and SO good. Although I'm glad to just have one baby growing in me!

The baby's stats this week:

• Arms, legs, and fingers are longer
• Head is straighter, neck is more developed
• Eyelids almost cover eyes
• The baby moves its body and limbs

If you want to get a better idea of what the baby looks like, do a search in Google Images for ultrasounds at 9 weeks. You will find some 3D and 4D images that can give you a much better view.
