2nd Dr's appointment

John and I had our 2nd Dr's appointment today! Although we were unable to find out the sex we were still able to see Baby Burrows swimming around like a "state" champ...in John's words. We didn't get a real clear picture today but it was so wonderful just to see the baby. The times the baby was facing us we were able to see the baby sucking its thumb and we even got a "high-five" allowing us to see all of the fingers on one hand. Last month all we saw were little numbs for the hands so it was amazing to see how much the baby has grown in the past 4 weeks. We were told today that the baby is a whopping 4 inches long!! CRAZY....

We have 2 appointments in April: One on the 24th with a sonogram specialist to hopefully determine the SEX and to also see if there are any developmental problems. Then another one on the 28th for our regular 4 week check up with our Doctor.

I have posted 2 pics below of Baby Burrows which are kind of hard to see what you are looking at. The top one (looking left to right) is the baby facing away from us showing the back of the head and a GREAT shot of the spine. The bottom one we were told was a profile picture so when looking left to right you can see the head outline on the left but it is very hard to make out any other body parts.





















Tomorrow the baby will be going on 15 weeks so I will begin to update our blog weekly to show the growing baby bump.

Our First Update

John and I went to our first doctor's appointment on March 2nd. We found out we were 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It was an amazing realization when we actually saw our baby on the sonogram for the first time. The heartbeat didn't skip a beat although ours skipped about ten!! Here are some of the 1st sonogram pictures.
























Our next appointment is this Tuesday March 31st. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we may find out the sex!! I'll post more pictures this week!!
