We went in for our monthly checkup today, and much to our surprise they said we got to get another ultrasound. It's because I'm not 12 weeks yet. It's contrary to what we were initially told that we wouldn't be able to get another one until 18 weeks when we could find out the gender.
When we were first coming in the room, another nurse initially shooed us out so someone else could get an emergency ultrasound for some reason. We waited around 10 minutes, then we finally got in. They didn't make me strip all the way down this time, but I had to enough to get the ultrasound. We were shocked to see just how much more it has progressed from the blob 4 weeks ago.
We could definately see it squirming around, moving its arms like it was swimming. D definately choked up for a moment, and the only words I could say was "Wow". I didn't really think about how big it was getting by this point, just that it was developing major organs. It's definately there, and it's definately alive.
I ended up losing another pound although my clothes have gotten tighter. I just hope this nausea lets up soon so that I can feel like I can eat normal meals again. I've at least discovered cravings for spicy food and pancakes (as well as sour cream and onion pringles, but I could eat those all day before anyway). I don't have another appointment for another 2 weeks, then I'll officially be second trimester!
