First Trimester Check-up and Ultrasound

I went to my first appointment yesterday afternoon with Scott. I was nervous, but only for the blood draw, which would come at the very end of the appointment, and I ended up being just fine (last time I had a blood draw I had to do a 24 hr fast and I get sick when I don't eat, so I threw up and practically fainted- not fun) this time I told Scott I wasn't going to look, he just needed to hold my hand and talk to me and it wasn't the worst. I still prefer a finger prick any day.

My doctor, Kristen F. Craig (Initials KFC, I got a chuckle out of that) was so nice, very laidback and down to earth, she even told me that I could eat sushi if I wanted and so Scott and I went to Takara right after for Dinner and I had a little tuna roll.

We got to see our baby for the first time, and it was amazing how clear the ultrasound was. The photos below really don't do it justice, we could see things so clearly, it really looked like a tiny little baby- and it was moving up a storm! Kicking and rubbing its eyes, its funny that I probably won't feel any of those kicks until the baby is almost one foot long! Right now the baby measures 4.2 cm and is very healthy. Everything looked to be just fine so we were really pleased with the appointment.

The first picture baby is kicking at the "cramp" in its space, and the second picture, the 4D image, baby is rubbing its eyes- so cute!
