Hello everyone! Well, we are feeling especially relieved and blessed today. We are happy to report that after another ultrasound our little baby is doing just fine!
There was probably no reason to worry; however, Tuesday we went to the doctor and he wasn't able to locate the heartbeat with the Doppler. This is pretty normal at 11 weeks, but wasn't the relief we were hoping to receive from that doctor's visit. Just to make sure everything was okay the doctor scheduled an ultrasound for today. Wednesday and Thursday were long days for me. At this point in the pregnancy we normally wouldn't have even had one ultrasound but we are on our 4th! Perhaps Little Rosey just knows how much I love pictures. I'm going to have a great pre-birth scrap book!
What a sigh of relief we had when the ultrasound picked up the baby and not only was the heart fluttering but Little Rosey was squirming all over the place! He/she must be a bit camera shy because after the first few seconds it didn't move anymore but it was so neat to see. It's arms were clear as day and it just looked like a little gummy bear! The heartbeat was 167 beats per minute, which is right where it should be!
Look at that little hand poking out!
Joe and I are doing well. Larry and Sandy have been in town all week so we've been spending a lot of time with them, Erin, Vic and Eli. They were pretty excited to get to join us for the ultrasound today.
Work has been finishing up alright - although hopefully I'm not the only one who has ever experienced a complete lack of motivation in the last "two weeks" at work. Oh boy, it's just about the longest two weeks ever but only 6 more days till my next adventure: to be determined.
Well, today we just have great thanks that Little Rosey is strong and growing! My stomach is growing alongside - and soon we'll start documenting the progress for you.
Love you all!
Robyn & Joe
