I did get to hear the heartbeat today which was steady at around 156 beats/min - (155-160 is what they look for right now). The only interruption to the the amazing sound of the heartbeat was that of the baby's movements - which were frequent! So I guess the little grasshopper is still jumping around in there. Enjoy it little one - your mansion will become a loft soon enough!
For those of you interested - this week the baby is measuring about 4 inches long and weighs about 2 & 1/2 ounces. About the size of an apple:
The legs are growing longer than the arms now - let's hope more like Steve's length than mine! - and all of the joints & limbs are in motion! Haven't felt anything yet but the doctor said today that I should definitely be feeling the baby move by my next appointment. Baby can sense light now - which is crazy & while the sex is able to be determined at this point, as long as the little one cooperates, we of course will not be finding out. Can't wait for that surprise!
That's all for this week! :) Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week & a fabulous weekend!
Love to all!
Wonderful news you two. Ahhhhhh the sound of a steady, strong heartbeat. Nothing like it! Wait til that first kick. You'll be quite surprised. See you in 24-days!
