Yesterday we got to see Baby Sheldon at our 12 week check up. First we went in to see the doctor and she wanted us to hear the heart beat using a doppler machine. Well every time she found the heart beat Baby Sheldon would move away. So we only got to hear it for a few seconds at a time. Next we went in for the ultrasound which lasted about 30 minutes. When the tech first started the baby was face down so she wanted to get him or her in a different position. She tried wiggling the ultrasound wand around over my stomach but that didn't work. Then she tilted the chair backwards and had me start coughing. Clearly baby did not like this because he or she rolled over, back to us, and went to sleep. This wasn't going to work because there were measurements that needed to be taken and we wanted to see baby in action. So she tried various techniques to get baby to move and finally it worked! Baby Sheldon gave us a nice profile view and started moving around a bunch. He or she kept putting their little hands up to their face and wiggling their legs around. It's amazing how much baby has changed over the past few weeks. What this ultrasound has taught us, though, is that Baby Sheldon will probably be a very strong willed child. Below is a picture and video:
I apologize that I haven't had anything to write about lately but morning sickness is still consuming my life. There is only 1 more week left until the second trimester and I am hopeful that it will also be the end of my constant nausea. Every time I think it is going away it seems to make a return and continue to torment me. Here is this week's belly picture:
