At 6 weeks we confirmed the pregnancy at the doctor's office. Such a relief to hear that everything appeared to be going as it should for a healthy pregnancy.
At 10 weeks we heard our baby's heartbeat for the very first time. Oh what a sweet, sweet sound! I had heard heartbeats of other babys in the womb, but there is nothing like hearing your own baby's heartbeat. A heartbeat we prayed many years to hear. The only thing better than hearing the heartbeat was actually seeing our baby for the first time. Seeing that he really is there, growing and moving. And we saw the sweetest little foot!
At 14 weeks not only were we able to hear our baby's heartbeat at the doctor's office again, we were able to record it at home to share with our family and friends. That sounds was still so very sweet! I also started feeling the baby move at 14 weeks. I wasn't 100% sure of what I was feeling at first but as the pregnancy has progressed, I know that is exactly what I felt at 14 weeks.
At 18 weeks we hit a huge milestone in the pregnancy. One I had been waiting and hoping for from the beginning. Scott was able to feel the baby move while talking to him. Today we had our 18 week checkup. We are at 18 weeks, 4 days. We had our first 4D ultrasound but baby made it hard to get any good pictures. Actually, during the 2D ultrasounds he was making things difficult for the doctor. He is very, very active and moves constantly. We were able to see that everything is progressing well, the placenta just did miss blocking the cervix, all systems are functioning as should be, and that we are having a little BOY!
Our next ultrasound will be at 30 weeks unless we need one for some reason before then. We will be taking a disc to that appointment so we will have video to share with everyone!
