OUR BABY IS 8 WEEKS OLD, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A RASPBERRY, AND CAN KICK.
ALL MAJOR ORGANS, MUSCLES, AND NERVES ARE PRESENT.
What better way to kick off the New Year than with a positive ultrasound! We went in for our follow up on Jan 3rd and found the baby measured 8w3d (although I was 8w2d) and had a healthy heart rate of 174bpm. It was so cool to see that little gummy bear with it's little arm and leg nubs! It was a relief, although I wasn't as nervous going in to this one as I was with the last one. Last time, it seemed like I had to wait YEARS from the time I scheduled the appointment til it actually took place. This time we had Christmas and New Years in between and that kept me so busy that before I knew it our next appointment was here.
I am still having some persistent symptoms. I'm definitely bloated (sexy), and I feel nauseous every single day (super sexy). Nowhere near puking, thank God, but it is still not very fun. When I'm nauseous I can't decide if I'm hungry, thirsty, or just have to pee. It's a very odd sensation lol.
