Today was our 12 week appointment with the doctor! Only a few more days until we are officially out of the first trimester. We can't wait for that little milestone to pass. When we were waiting to go back to see the doc we talked about whether we'd get to hear the little buddy's heartbeat again. It was just a standard check up so we were suspect about whether we'd even get some face time with the doctor.
As it turns out (and as you can probably guess based on the picture) we got to see the heartbeat and more! Elizabeth got to do another ultrasound today. I can't tell you how much joy it brought the two of us to actually see our little one for the first time. The initial trip pretty much all you can make out a little blob. Now he is far enough along that you can clearly make out a lot of him. He has a clearly defined head as you can see on the pic above, and we saw an arm, a leg, and even his little Wayne haha.
We have been to the doctor twice now and I have to say I am really pleased with our choice at this point. At first I was a bit suspect but Elizabeth has been going to her for a while and wanted to stick with her. Each time we go she has been there, and she spends a reasonable amount of time with us too. I have never felt rushed, to the contrary she is very calm and encourages questions each time we visit. We are completely new to all of this so that is a huge plus. All the reading in the world and I still feel like I have a million questions each time!
Other than that not a ton going on with us. We have some work around the house to do this weekend and we are hoping to try this new restaurant in town with some friends. We are working through names for you right now but we can't quite make up our minds...so many choices. We want it to be perfect for you so we are going to take our time. We love you so much little one.
Dad
