Our Second Visit to the Doctor: 8 weeks

Today we went for our 8 week check up at the doctor. We got a lot of information today and were able to have all of our questions answered. Jason and I were very excited to have the opportunity to see our little one again! He/she is now 2.3 cm big! The heart rate increased from 107 to 168, which is great! The doctor likes for it to be between 120 and 180. We were both amazed to look at the new pictures and see how much the baby has grown in just two short weeks. I think that if you look hard enough you can see some of the little body parts, but Jason just thinks it's my imagination. The little heart was going wild on the screen and put on a good show for mommy and daddy! The doctor gave both the baby and I a very good report! We will be finding out the sex of the baby in late August or early September! What's your guess...a boy or a girl?

The little ball on the right is the yolk sack which is now feeding the baby. The little peanut that you see on the left is our little sweet pea!!!

Here is a side view of the little one! I swear that you can a see the little head, tummy, nose and a tiny little arm! I may be crazy, but to me it's there! The baby's arms, legs, facial features, heart and many other organs are already formed. He/she is growing quickly each and every day!
