Our 2nd doctor's appointment! 12 weeks 5 days! April 5th!

On Tuesday April 5th, we had our second ultra sound done! I was soooo excited to see our Baby Blessing because I knew this ultrasound would actually resemble a baby! My appointment was at 2pm and so Drew and I went to the appointment. This time the tech did the ultrasound and Baby Smallwood was moving like crazy. He/or she was waving their arms and everything! It was soooo precious to see our baby so active. If you check out the bottom pic you can see their little hand in their air! Wave at them! :) The tech was trying to get the baby to stretch out so she could measure him/her, they didn't seem to want to stretch. She kept pushing on my belly trying to get the baby to stretch out, over and over again and having me roll over. The tech then realized my bladder was full and said that is probably why the baby is not stretching. So after going to the bathroom, Baby Smallwood finally stretched out to get a good measurement! :) The heartrate was at 171this time, a little higher than the last! The tech then scheduled my next ultrasound which would be the BIG one! So May 26th at 2pm The Smallwoods will know if we are having a Baby Boy or a Baby Girl! Cant' wait for this day!!! 7 weeks from today we will find out! YAY!


I then got my weight checked and another urine sample while we waited to speak to Dr. Morton.


We saw the Dr much faster this time! :) She told us all my blood work and urine came back healthy and good from our first visit! She also said the Baby was doing great. She said my placenta was in a great condition and the Baby is right on track. She even said that when the tech measured the space by the neck to check for down syndrom that it was normal as well! :) So yay! Healthy Baby! :) So excited! She asked us if we wanted any genetic testing or anything we declined, and she reassured us that she didn't think it was necessary either! She asked me how I was doing and of course if we had any questions. We talked about May 26th which would be the big gender reveal. She told me she wanted to see me again in 4 weeks to make sure everything is okay. So my next Drs appt is May 4 at 7:30!

So yay we are excited! Even more anxious for 7 weeks to hurry up and get here! :)

Below is Baby Smallwood, our precious blessing...ENJOY!
