20 week ultrasound ~ 10.27.09
Some of these are blurry, but hopefully you can see Baby Wilt in some of the pictures!
First Ultrasound
We had our first ultrasound Tuesday, September 8th. According to my due date, I was 12w6d, but the baby was measuring 13w2d. The average crown to rump length for 13 weeks is 7.4 cm, and our little one was measuring 7.97cm! The purpose of the ultrasound was to check for certain genetic disorders and birth defects. We won't know the official results until next week when my blood work is combined with the results of the ultrasound, but all the numbers from the ultrasound looked great! The heart rate was 156bpm. At my appointment last Friday it was 150bpm. We could see the heart fluttering during the ultrasound, and a few times you could even see the baby kick or move his/her arms. It was a very cool experience!

At our 16 week appointment on October 1st, the heart rate on the doppler was around 140. I kept laughing, so it was hard to get an accurate count! At the end, you can hear the nurse say that the reason the beat gets louder and softer is because the baby is moving around so much!
