Our Baby is the size of a Fig!!!

Today, I got to see my baby for the 3rd time!!! I went in for the OB work up and the doctor did an external ultrasound. Yay for external ultrasounds! I saw the baby's heart beat and saw him jump around. Dr. Glander said we have a very busy little one. She said everything looked great and we are right on track for a healthy pregnancy. We are 10 weeks/ 5 days and the baby is the size of a fig! Our due date is March 18th, 2010!!!

2nd Ultrasound!

Monday, we went for our 2nd ultrasound and got wonderful news! Our baby has a heartbeat of 158 beats/minute and now is the size of a blueberry. Charlie recorded the heartbeat onto my phone and we now have it to listen to everytime we want a reminder of how our little baby is doing. So, neat! Our next appointment is Aug. 25th to meet with our doctor and to go over all the paperwork needed. Please keep Baby Mentzer in your prayers! Today, our baby is 7 weeks/ 2 days. Our new Due Date is March 21st, 2010!!!

1st Ultrasound!

Today, we went for our first doctors appointment at 7:30am. The nurse said everything looked great and my blood levels (HCG and Progesterone) indicated a healthy pregnancy. Charlie asked her if there was anyway they could squeeze us in to get an ultrasound. After the ultrasound tech got in, she took us back first! It didn't take but a second to see our little baby and his/her heart beating 108 beats/minute. I started crying and Charlie was sqeezing my hand. It was the most amazing experience I have ever been through! What a little miracle! Our baby is 5 weeks/ 6 days old. We go back for another ultrasound next Monday to make sure his/her heart beat is faster and he/she has doubled in size. Can't wait to watch our little baby grow!
