13 week appointment

We had our 13 week appointment on 7/2...it was an exciting one! At Jaime's suggestion we had an ultrasound and we were so glad we did! The ultrasound technician had a little trouble getting our "stubborn" (her words not ours but we're hoping this is not a premonition) little one to cooperate. But eventually he did. When I would move, the baby would move his (the ultrasound technician called the baby a "him"...not sure if she saw something she didn't tell us about!) arms, legs, and head...he was "sitting up straight". It was amazing! It's crazy to think that something inside me is moving and I can't feel it...soon enough though I'm sure. The technician said he sleeps 99% of the time right now so after 10-20 seconds of movement, the baby would put his head down, curl his little legs up, put his hands in a praying position and he was back to sleep. So cute! How crazy that he's grown and changed so much in just a few weeks since our last ultrasound!! When we saw the doctor, she said the baby's heartbeat is strong and everything looks good. I have gained 1/2 a pound since our last appointment (5 weeks ago)...not too shabby...I was thinking it would be a lot more than that after all the sweets I've been eating...hee hee. We met a new doctor. They'll have us see all the doctors in the practice over the next 6 months so we can get to know everyone...you never know who will be on-call when the baby is born. By the way...all of my charts say that the baby is due January 12th...we'd been saying the 11th all these months so...we are now officially changing the date to the 12th. We'll have our next appointment 7/30 (just a check-up) and then 4 weeks after that, as long as the baby is cooperating, we'll have our next appointment and we'll be able to find out the sex of the baby. Woo hoo!

I have to add...Marc was very excited on Friday that baby Sidney played his first round of golf...granted I rode the cart so really the baby didn't get to see too much action but...the baby did bring Marc good luck as he beat Uncle Jeff...overall a great round!
