My Little Peanut

So I had my first prenatal checkup last Thursday. I was really excited to meet our Dr. We had a lot of problems with the Dr. that we chose when I was pregnant with Shannon so we wanted to find someone else. We had heard a lot of things about a lot of Dr.s but we heard the majority of them about Sherri Russel. We decided to try her out and we Love her! She is a midwife, and has been doing it for about 20 years. She's been an RN for about 25....I think. Basically she has been doing this for a while, and she has delivered over 2,000 babies! She asked a lot of questions and just really just tried to get to know Jeff and I, which made me feel good and like I was important. At the end of the appointment, she informed me that I would be getting a pelvic exam, yippee for me, and an ultrasound! Not too happy for the first one, but ecstatic about the second. This copy isn't really that good, but it's a picture of the little "peanut". That's what the girls have been calling it. No, the two white dots aren't part of my baby, they are just the markers that Sherri put on to measure the size of the baby. Crown to rump, it is 2.02 cm. Quite the little football player! :) The little circle thing above the baby is the yoke sac, which supplies the nutrients until the umbilical cord is formed. Based on the size, I was 8 weeks and 4 days along. So today, I'm 9 weeks and 3 days! The due date is still Dec. 21. My next visit is on June 12, and we will be able to hear the heartbeat then. I'll keep you all posted, keep praying for a boy please! :)
