Babies First Picture
On Friday Kevin and I went in for my second appointment at the OB’s office and we were thrilled to get to see our little one! We had the Ultrasound first and the tech started with the heartbeat. It was so fast, about 171 beats per minute, which we were told is very healthy. I think that was Kevin’s favorite part of the appt. That little thing that we were hoping was growing and moving in me really does have a heart beat! This is really happening. I know things are changing with him (of course with me too) because he kept talking all night about the heartbeat and being able to see the life that God has given to us as parents.
They said it is a little over an inch long and very healthy. It was so great getting to see the little lets and arms moving and hear the heartbeat. My mom said it has her arms, kinda short little Tyrannosaurus-rex arms! 
I’m just glad it looks semi-human now, not so much like a tiny whale…
The rest of the appointment was not any where near as exciting as the first part. But was reassuring knowing that the long hours I spend in the pool won’t be affecting me or the baby. Everyone keeps saying that the 9 months will fly by, and I know that I need to be appreciating my last few months without a baby, but I can’t wait for it to get here! I can’t wait to meet it and see it’s little personality! I guess I will be patient and not rush the little guy (or girl!).
