Baby is just over 2" and almost half an ounce! That's about the size of a plum.
Their reflexes are developing and if I poke my tummy they are probably going to move in reaction to it! Also, finger and toes are opening and closing, eye muscles are working, and the mouth is making sucking motions.
I have felt a little more nauseous in the last few days than previously, so that's kind of a bummer! I am also exhausted!! The gloomy weather we have had for a few days doesn't really help with that either. It's been really nice being able to use the doppler at home, especially before announcing on Facebook (I wanted to make sure it still seemed ok before such a public announcement!). Sometime this weekend I'll sit down and actually calculate the HR again and give an update on that.
My next appointment is Thursday the 4th at 2:30. No ultrasounds or anything this time, just a check up to make sure everything seems good! I think we're seeing the same midwife we saw last time, which we really liked her so that's a good thing :)
I also "told" at work this week. It's nice to not have to keep quiet about it anymore! I often found myself almost saying something about it totally on accident, especially since the wife of one of my coworkers just had their first baby a few weeks ago and babies have been talked about quite a bit around here!
Time is also finally starting to go a little faster :) From finding out on July 31st to my first scheduled appointment 9/5 felt like eons! This month though has actually gone by really quickly. And I should be pretty busy at work in the next month too so I am imagining that October will fly by. Looking forward to enjoying the fall - going to the zoo, hiking at Hocking Hills, warm meals, being lazy on the weekends, etc :)
