11 week ultrasound!!

Well, I am getting over a very tired phase.  It has been going on for the past 3 weeks where I wake up, and I am fighting the fatigue until the afternoon and give into a nap.  Unfortunately, the daytime naps are not very refreshing, but otherwise I feel like I just over slept. I am grateful that is the only thing that I have felt that has given me a  little discomfort! I have had some of my energy back since the end of August. I haven't been as active as I have in mid-August, but looking forward when that time comes. I don't want to push my body too hard, and I have enjoyed some of the downtime. I had my doctor visit August 31st, 2010.  I had another ultrasound done.

This time was a surreal experience  and I laughed as I first saw that little tiny peanut with a fluttering heart. The baby is still very tiny so my mom and I really couldn't see a whole lot but the form of the baby and how it was positioned in the uterus. When baby Fortuna moved around we could see the fluttering heartbeat, 160 beats per minute, and the head and brain and tiny bumps where arms and legs are forming. It was just so amazing, and I am just so happy! Mike and I are so blessed!  I am grateful that the doctor sat down with me and was able to many of my questions! Its such a great reassurance that everything is going well when you hear it from the doctor!
