This morning, I had my 12 week appointment with Dr. Ali. Ted had to drive me because Frederick had major freezing rain and I was nervous about the roads. He had a 2 hour delay at work cause it was worse there, so it worked out well that he didn't have to use any leave time. Dr. Ali went over my blood work I had done a couple weeks ago and said everything looked good so no worries there. She wasn't sure if I was far enough along to hear heart beat through dopplar, so she tried but couldn't get anything. So she had to do a sonogram to check on heart beat. Oh darn, another chance for me to see Baby T haha. She let me see the baby for a little bit. She pointed out head and body which is more obvious now than at 8 weeks. I saw a hand and asked her to make sure. It was up by baby's mouth, maybe starting to suck? Then she played around with the angle a bit and we saw both hands go up and move around. Pretty cool. Then she did a reading on heart for us to hear and it was at 166/min and sounding good. She wants me back in 4 weeks for another check-up and even though I don't go until March, she gave me the paperwork for my sonogram at 18-20 weeks when we can find out the gender. I am posting the picture she took today at the appointment. Again, it isn't the best quality but you can kind of see. Baby's head is on the right and just above neck/chest you can see faint outline of arm and hand.
