I had my first prenatal visit this morning. Baby's heart rate was 148 bpm. Perfectly normal! Typically, at this point, the ultrasound can't usually pick up the heartbeat but instead you can only visualize it on the monitor. I asked if we could try to hear it and sure enough, the heartbeat came over loud and clear. The little peanut is coincidentally, from crown to rump, about the size of a peanut M&M (about 1.25 centimeters). I'm measuring at 7 weeks and 4 days, which is right on target based on my lmp. My blood pressure was about 106/68. Just about where it usually is. We got 2 ultrasound pictures and I can't wait to tell the girls tomorrow. Cecelia is going to be sooo excited! My next appointment is scheduled for January 18th:) Oh my goodness! I have to pee ALL the time! Apparently, not only is the uterus sitting on my bladder (obviously) but apparently now that the baby's kidneys are fully functioning, I am now peeing for two. This pregnancy is quite different than I remember with Cecelia. Maybe that is a good indication that it may be a boy???
