Ultrasounds

First Pregnancy

We had our first ultra sound at 5 weeks 3 days because of sharp pelvic bone pain. Everything looked great but all we could see was the yolk sac. Turns out I have a tilted uterus, so they did a trans-vaginal ultrasound. Because the doctor still had me at 7 weeks 3 days from my LMP because of long cycles, they had me go back a week later to check for a heartbeat and viable pregnancy (thank goodness I knew better and had charted or I would have been freaking out!!)This time they only did a regular U/S so the picture is much less clear :( But we got to see that miraculous little heartbeat flickering. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen!

Big U/S was on September 17 at 18w6d. It's a GIRL!!!! She's a stubborn little one ;) Didn't want to move, so the u/s tech gave me some candy and told me to jump on the stairs! It worked a little, and with lots and lots of pushing, she showed us she's definitely a girl. Everything looks great and all the measurements are just right :) We are so excited! She is sitting very low, right on my bladder. The tech told me I probably constantly feel like I have to pee! Oh ya, I sure do!! And she is a little acrobat, always sitting with her legs over her head. The only other shot we could get of her was her sitting Indian style for a little while :) What a cutie! I can't wait to meet our little princess!! Now it's time to shop! :D

Kylie Catherine is on her way :D It's so great to be able to call her by name!!

Second Pregnancy

My first appt. for the second pregnancy was right before 10 weeks. Based on my ovulation date, I had my due date at Oct. 24. Based on my last period date, my OB had my due date at Oct. 20. Rather then check for a heartbeat w/ the doppler, my OB just did a quick ultrasound (we didn't get a picture :( but we did get to see our second little miracle in the making and that glorious heartbeat!! :). Based on the ultrasound, baby was measuring right at 10 weeks... so my official due date is October 22, 2009!
