So I went for my 13 week doctors visit and ultra sound last week and had a wonderful visit!! Our little Peanut has gone from looking "shrimp" or "seahorse" like to looking like a baby!! Amazing what just 3 weeks can do!! I heard the heartbeat for the very first time and was amazed at how little Peanut still is but how strong the heartbeat is already!! The doctor said everything looked great. They even moved my due date up to May 10th!!! Inching closer and closer to my dad's birthday (May 9th) and Matt's sisters birthday (May 8th)!! We shall see.
We were hoping to maybe catch a glimpse of peanuts anatomy down below to see boy or girl...but no such luck! That little Peanut is too comfy in there...can you blame them!!! The ultra sound tech tried her best to move the baby and even had me cough but to no avail baby wouldn't change positions. I kept envisioning the movie "Look Who's Talking" with Kirstie Alley and John Travolta where the baby talks in utero and makes funny comments. I am sure that our Peanut was saying "Whoa what is all this poking...Whoa lady why are you waking me from my slumber...I was pretty cozy you know." I just cracked up thinking about that movie. So we did not find out the sex of the baby but we will for sure on December 21st. We can't wait and we are counting the weeks!!!
My doctor told me that everything looked great. She said I am healthy and strong and fully expects for us to be given a very healthy baby. I did have some testing done for chromosomal disorders (Down syndrome, etc.) and should receive the results of that soon. We have no reason to worry but you never know God's plans for our baby.
The biggest prayer request we have is for everyone to continue to pray for a healthy baby for one but most importantly for me to remain as healthy as I have been for the remainder of the pregnancy. After much thought and many prayers I have decided that I am not going to vaccinate myself with the H1N1 vaccine. I am not comfortable with the amount of time that it has been out or the length of the studies that are being done on the long term effects. I feel confident in my decision and am doing everything I can do to stay as healthy as possible....so please continue to pray for that!! Thank you all for your love, prayers, and wonderful comments during this magical time for us!!
