9 Weeks/ 1st Doctor's Appointment

{Baby JellyBean is now the size of a grape (compared next to a quarter)}


We had our first doctor's appointment on Feb. 14. Valentines Day. The ultrasound went great. Here's our little jellybean! And really, that's all he/she looks like in this picture. In actuality, his/her little fingers and toes are already formed and all the organs are there and functional, he/she even has earlobes right now! Big White Blob= Baby.... Small White Doughnut Blob Under It= no idea! They didn't tell me and I didn't think to ask. I was looking online at other 9 week ultrasounds, and a lot of them came out MUUCH clearer than mine did. Hm.

That was the fun part of the appointment. They drew my blood next, which was a complete nightmare, and I was a total hysterical mess. We'll leave it at that, because if in the future I look back on this blog, I will solemnly vow to never get pregnant again due soley to the fact of this blood drawing experience.

It was fun though, to get to see the Ultrasound. Courtney loved it!

*Something neat this week: The 'tadpole' tail is now gone, and Baby JellyBean now looks more like an actual baby than a tadpole :)
