Hey guys! We went for our second doctors appointment this past Tuesday. We were VERY excited to be able to hear a heartbeat for the first time! We came into the room and our doctor (who is a ROCKSTAR) tried to use the Doppler to hear the heartbeat. Unfortunately, we were still a little early to hear it on her machine. All we heard was my heartbeat and interference from another radio, so it sounded like there was a boombox in my belly! :) I guess we must have had a pretty bummed look on our face, so she sweet-talked the ultrasound tech to squeeze us in so we could hear the heart beat and so we could confirm that there was only one baby Sanro in there. :) Much to my delight, there is only one. The heartbeat was very strong and the baby looked healthy! She measured it again and we were at 9 weeks 1 day - exactly where she measured the last time, so the due date hasn't changed. I was so thrilled that Dustin is able to come to my doctors appointments and share in all of this excitement with me. You should have seen his face when they did a close up of the baby - I have never seen such pure joy in someones face in my entire life. It really amazed both of us how realistic the sonogram was. The baby doesn't have fully grown arms or legs, so it kind of looks like a gummy bear. :) Every time I have ever seen a sonogram picture, I never really know what it is that I am supposed to be seeing, but I could make out this head and butt clear as day. :)
As far as the pregnancy goes, I have had really no symptoms. No morning sickness. No nothing. I get hot easily and I get hungry at the snap of a finger, but I think I can handle that! Thankfully, easy pregnancies and easy deliveries run in my family!! I haven't started showing, although I am feeling very lumpy. :)
I follow a pregnancy website that gives a size comparison of the baby to a common object. Week 9 (this week) the baby is the size of a green olive. Next week (week 10) it will be the size of a prune. :) It is amazing how quickly the baby grows! When we very first went to the doctor at week 5, it was the size of a orange seed! Crazy!!
We go to the doctor next on July 12 (my 28th birthday!!). I will be 13 weeks and we should be able to hear the baby perfectly and he/she should be moving around like crazy! I will be at the beginning of my second trimester then. We will not be able to find out the sex of the baby until about 18-20 weeks, so we have a little while to wait.
We have a HUGE list of name possibilities, but I think we are going to make a final decision on the name the day the baby is here. We are both bad at making decisions, but we have some great names that we both are in love with. We just have to see which one we love the most!! :) :)
I will keep you all informed on anything else that happens, but look out for another post in July after our 3 month doctors appointment! Love you all!
