Good news!

Everything looks great! They didn't give us specific measurements, but doctor came in after an hour of the sonogram tech scanning baby's head, abs, bladder, arms and legs, etc etc... she said "everything looks as it should, there's nothing to be of concern" In about a week they'll send us the risk factor (1 out of whatever whatever) after they also get the results to my blood test... so far so good! We're both very young - 26/28... but you never know, since I had two previous unknown m/cs... probably chromosomal defects.

We're so happy that we finally told our family and 2 close friends. It has to be done soon because I'm actually starting to show!!! We're sticking with my LMP as due date, but the tech who measured the baby's crown rump length kept getting 13w1day or 13w6day measurements. So it's a big baby??

I also think it's a boy, but that's just because our families all have boys as first child.

Anyways, here are the pictures!!!!! you can see his/her nose, lips, and chin, how adorable is that???

Getting closer to comfort: 7 weeks 6 days

yay! Baby grew. We're measuring right on schedule, 7W6D or 8W. Fluttering heartbeat and everything.

This is reassuring. Doc will not see us for another 4 weeks, unless I get anxious again and will book another ultrasound at 10 weeks (they know me so well by now). I'll also be getting the first trimester screening which is I guess the nuchal scan? at 12 weeks.

So far, it's looking good. I also bought my first maternity related item - a belly band. Overnight, my tummy blew up and won't deflate like it used to after passing some wind. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable right now just sitting in my pjs. I guess it might have to do with the fact that my uterus is now the size of a grapefruit!
