Our second appointment

Today, Daniel and I went to our second prenatal appointment. Since Daniel wasn't able to make it to the first visit, and I'd had more time to think about things, we had lots of questions for the doctor. After an extensive medical history questionnaire, we met with Dr. Salgado. She was great--a little bit more liberal than Dr. Hibschman in her recommendations and restrictions, but definitely full of good information. We went through all of our questions, then right as we were about finished, Daniel asked if she thought it would be OK if we told our families this week. She thought for a minute, then said that because I had been worried about a little bit of spotting (TMI, sorry)--and so we could feel confident telling our families--that we should go for an ultrasound right then!

So, our one hour appointment ended up taking all of the afternoon. We left the doc's office, and went over to the office where they do the ultrasounds, and spent the afternoon looking at images of our two little babies moving around in my belly. It was amazing to see how much more developed our little peanuts are than they were just three weeks ago--we could see hands and arms, noses and legs. It was awesome!



And they were SO wiggly! Wondering what that means for later in the pregnancy--but they would hardly sit still to have their measurements taken. We also got to hear each heartbeat--both were strong and sounded absolutely beautiful.

This week our babies are each the size of a fig!

PS babies--your Grandma Kaye and Grandpa Tom are going to be here this week!!

PPS my pants = don't fit.
