My mom has affectionately nicknamed the baby "peanut." "Peanut" has even received a Christmas present from Mimi and Papa this year already. Our present from this little peanut was to see him/her and hear the heartbeat. On Friday, Noel and I went to Rachel's doctor appointment. We were able to see a sonogram of the baby. It was amazing. It has a little head, arms, and legs already. We saw it moving around a lot. The baby was very wiggly. The doctor zoomed in on the sonogram and showed us the heart. It looked like a little flutter. We got to hear the fast "whooshing" of the heart beat. It was the best sound I ever heard. The doctor printed out pictures for Rachel and then some pictures for us. If I figure out how to post them on here, I will do so.
The next appointment won't be until January. I don't know if we'll go to this one because she will only be doing some blood work and the glucose test. The doctor said at 17 weeks, he will do the level 2 sonogram and we should be able to determine the sex of the baby. So just 8 more weeks to go!
It's fun how everyone gets excited for you, i.e., already buying presents.
