12 Week Checkup




Went for our 12 week check up with the midwife on Tuesday- she tried to hear the heartbeat with the doppler, but couldn't get the baby to cooperate, though we could hear him or her kick the doppler! She decided to take a quick peek with the ultrasound, just for reassurance, so I got to see the little one again! It is amazing how the baby has changed in just a week and a half. At this appt, I was 12w4d by my dates (only 12 w by theirs) but the baby measured 13 weeks even! S/he is 2.75" long, and heartrate was 153. Wasn't as active as last time, but we got a profile view of him or her lounging with one arm tucked behind the head, the other up, with thumb ready to stick into his or her mouth! The other picture the baby is looking straight at you, head is on the right, arm is up by the head- you can see the mouth, nose and eyes!

This is Rachel W's sister, we met at Evey's birthday a few years ago. Congratulations on the baby! I'm just a week behind you, it's so great to see how your little one is developing and growing. Amy's pictures are always so cheerful, what a great family you have! God bless. -Ruth
