14 Weeks --- First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound during week 14, even though at our doctor's office they don't typically do the first one until around 18 weeks.  But since I had been experiencing a lot of bad abdominal pain, they wanted to make sure everything looked ok.  My mom came down for the day to go to the appointment with Chad and I!

Seeing our baby on that screen for the first time was so awesome.  He (or she---but I just knew it was a boy :-)) was absolutely perfect.

According to the measurements that the tech took during the ultrasound, she gave us a due date of six days earlier than our October 29th due date.  Although, they do not actually change your official due date unless the measurements are off fourteen or more days.  KC's heartbeat was 152bpm.  We got to see and hear hiccups!  So cute!   And everything checked out just fine!  Healthy baby, thank you Jesus!!

We also had another appointment with the doctor that week.  We switched to a new doctor (same office, though) because we didn't care for the first one we saw.  She was not very friendly and was just not someone I wanted to be seeing every month for the next several months!  Anyway, we absolutely LOVED the new doctor.  He was very kind, patient and so calm and reassuring.  A very highly recommended doctor.

We listened to baby KC's heartbeat and the doctor said it sounded very strong and healthy at about 156bpm!  The doctor also measured my abdominal from belly button to pelvic bone (15cm) and it was a little bigger, suggesting the baby might be slightly further along than we thought, but not necessarily.

Another great visit, confirming again that baby KC is healthy and growing perfectly!
