2nd appointment...

Today I saw Dr. R for the 2nd time since I have been diagnosed "pregnant". I was told I was to leave a urine sample each office visit. Nice, because I can empty out this bladder every 5 minutes if needed be.

In this appointment Dr. R gave me the bloodwork results, yes from the 7 tubes of blood drawn from my thick juicy veins. I didn't know what the procedure was, but I was secretly hoping for a second u/s to see my little baby again...and I got to see my little lime! Blood tests came back perfect...what a relief.

Baby now is the size of a lime, amazing how much they grow and develop in just 2 weeks. Heartbeat was 164 bpm and baby measure at 11wks 3 d - 4.58cm. Baby was also doing a few flips and kicks and I'd even say a few fist pumps, baby is rocking it inside of mommy...unfortunately mommy doesn't feel anything moving yet. Dr. R said maybe at 20 to 24 weeks...so patiently waiting to feel my baby moving inside of me.

Dr. R said it was safe if I wanted to start sharing the news...I think I will wait until I hit my 2nd trimester-but next up for announcement is my dear friend R.

Glad this appointment went great!
