Today was our first appointment with Dr. Karon! Although we had to wait forever, it was nice!! We got to see our little one on the ultrasound for the first time, and that was really exciting!! She did some measurements and said that our official due date is January 23rd, which is 4 days later than we had originally thought. However, it is 2 days after both mine and Brian's mom's birthdays, so that would be exciting if Baby Howard was born on their birthday! Talk about a great birthday gift! haha! Dr. Karon said that everything was going well, so that was a relief too! I couldn't help but be slightly nervous going into the appointment, but after leaving, I felt much better! Especially to know that there was only one little Baby Howard in there! Twins run on Brian's side of the family, and while twins usually comes from the mother's side, it was still nerve-wrecking to think about! But we did get official confirmation from Dr. Karon, that we will only have 1 little Howard running around right now! Thank the Lord!! haha.
I didn't hear the heartbeat on the ultrasound, but Dr. Karon did mention that this is the earliest time that the heartbeat could be detected, so it might have just been hard to hear. But the baby's heartbeat was 154bpm, so thats nice and strong she said. It was so neat to see it flickering on the ultrasound screen! She printed out our pictures for us, and it was so exciting to have! They are posted on the fridge right now, and as soon as I can get them scanned and onto the computer, I will post them on here for everyone to see!! We are really excited!!
I will be updating the ticker countdown at the top of the blog so that it is more accurate with our due date, since I found out today that I'm not quite 9 weeks yet.....so that will have to be fixed, and then it will be more accurate!! :) Stay tuned for more posts!!
