10 week ultrasound

Steven and I had lot of fun today.... one little let down, but it was still a great doctor's appointment.

We went in for a check up and we had another ultrasound. I love ultrasounds, but this one will most likely be the second to last one so I really tried to enjoy it... it wasn't hard! The let down was that we were suppose to be able to hear the heart beat, but the hospital wasn't equipped to hear the heart beat at 10 weeks... maybe we can hear it at our next appointment around 14 weeks. Here are the pictures....

We were AMAZED at how much our little bean has grown. When the picture came on the screen Steven said, "WOW" and moved really close to the machine. I only noticed after I moved away from the screen myself. He is going to be such a good Dad... I can't wait!



The next picture is when she took some measurements. Everything looked good. The measurement said that our due date is May 9th and one before said May 12th, but our real due date is May 11th. The measurements can vary 5-7 days but they are a good estimate. The doctor sets the due dates and based off of all my information, she set May 11th.



Same picture as above, only the measurements are gone. What I think is neat is that you can see the jaw bones forming.



I love this picture! It kinda looks like the baby is sucking his/her thumb. Also, the bright spot in his/her arm is the bone. I'm drinking my milk... if only broccoli looked remotely appetizing.



Before the appointment I watched some videos of 10 week ultrasounds... I was anxiously waiting for Steven to pick me up. Anyway, some of the babies weren't moving as much and some were. Before I left I prayed that ours would move.... and our baby was VERY active. He/She was bouncing around and moving his/her arms and legs. We even saw our baby move the umbilical cord. It was so neat and such a blessing from God. I truly have a life forming in me and it is so amazing!!! It's like in Psalm 139:13 (For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb), God is forming a soul inside of me and He has a plan and a purpose for this little baby... I can't wait to see it play out!
