I had my first ultrasound on the 22nd of September at Winnie Palmer Hospital. I had been anticipating this day since I found out I was pregnant. I couldn't WAIT to see my baby for the first time! Not only that but I was excited to check out the hospital I will be giving birth at. Winnie Palmer Hospital is aaaaamazing! It's seriously like a huge 5 star resort. Everything is so modern and technologically advanced. I loved it!

I had my appointment for my first ultrasound to measure the neck of the baby and to confirm my due date. Everything looked great and my due date was exact, April 5th 2011 :) It was so awesome to lay there and see this tiny miracle inside me moving around on the screen. It already has so many recognizable features. We could see its arms and legs moving around, it's tiny fingers and it's facial features. You can already tell he/she will have their daddy's nose, how cute! I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear every time I saw the baby move around. It was quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen.

My 2nd doctors appointment was this past Friday. I got all my lab and blood work results back. Everything looks good, I just have to start getting Rhogam shots because I have a rare blood type (a negative) which just means my rh balance is off and I need the shots to prevent my body from producing antibodies if I happen to get fetal blood in my system. I also got to hear the baby's heartbeat which was super fast! I still can't believe there is another life growing inside me. I love him/her so much!
