I don't know how, for the life of me, to get this to be horizontal. The doctor showed us this picture at today's appointment. The dark circle toward the top of the photo is the baby. We were not able to hear the baby's heart rate. We are going back on Monday to recheck it all. We saw what the doctor described as "early fetal cardiac activity," but were unable to capture it on the auditory sensor. So, the child will have 4 ultrasounds in the 4 weeks we've known about him/her.
As of today, we are 5 weeks, 6 days into this process. The approximate due date is April 12, 2011... I will need a babysitter for our first anniversary... wow...
We'll let you know how everything keeps progressing... Nothing about this child is straight forward... conceived against all odds, the drama of the possible ectopic pregnancy, the incredible quadrupling of the pregnancy hormone, and now not letting us hear the heartbeat right away... I'm hoping we don't have a drama queen on our hands :)
How fantastic! What a good looking fetus! Life would be boring without drama...just reflect back on your good old days at Brandeis! :)
ReplyDeleteDarling, I LOVE reading YOU!
ReplyDeleteIt is WAY early to be able to hear the heartbeat...you should be able to SEE the heartbeat in the next week but not actually hear it through Doppler for about 4 more weeks (at the earliest). Piccolino is cute! Love, Heather
