A few weeks ago, BB took its first picture! :) About the size of 1/10th of an inch, BB's heartbeat was going strong! It's still the coolest thing to me that something that small (only 6 weeks) has a heartbeat. There is no doubt this baby is a gift from God.
My favorite memory from the dr. visit would be Trey's comment to Dr. McMorries. The doctor asked me what happened because when he saw me in May I wasn't planning on having children soon after we got married. Trey, being his normal self, replied, "Well doc, she held me down!" Needless to say, I was slightly embarrased, but wouldn't expect anything else from my sweet husband!
Also, we were given a new due date. I am not as far as long as the nurse originally thought. Therefore, my new due date is July 14th! And, we know BB is gonna hold until at least that day so Papa Kenny and Kelsey will back from the ball tournament. However, Kelsey really would like BB to be born on her bday (July 11) and Steven would really like BB to be born on his bday (July 21). Trey and I do not care what day as long as BB is happy and healthy.
At my first appointment, I did talk to the doctor about the complications my momma had with Kelsey and I. For those of you that don't know, Kelsey and I were both premature. I weighed 2 pounds and Kelsey weighed 3 pounds. Mom had eclampsia. The doctor assured me it does not appear to be anything genetic, and to watch my blood pressure, salt intake, and weight gain to prevent having these complications. So far, I have gained one pound! Woohoo! :) Keep us in your prayers as this concern definitely weighs in the back of my mind daily!
Our next appointment is Dec. 15th. Hopefully, this baby is growing healthy and strong. From what I've been told, morning sickness means a healthy baby! That being said, BB should be one healthy little kid! :)
