Katy and I had our first doctor's visit this afternoon. Session one began with a simple question and answer session. What can you eat, not eat, drink or not drink, medical history, etc. We found that Katy is as healthy as can be and is allowed a caffeinated beverage once in a great while. She doesn't have to give up her green tea!
After our meeting with the OBGYN it was off to the Ultra Sound Lab. Unfortunately at this stage in the pregnancy jelly on the belly did not give us a clear enough picture. However, with a few other techniques and a magic wand, out of nowhere came this beautiful shot of Baby Cornett.
The baby is now roughly the size of a quarter. Given its size, they determined that Katy is 8 weeks and 5 days along. Moving from right to left, it has two arms that you can see just below the head, a little stomach, and two stubby feet below that. The baby was wiggling with joy and you could even see its heart beat. The little round circle below the baby is called the yolk sac. This is where the baby draws nutrients from in its first weeks.
Blood work was are final stop for the visit. A few vials full and we were off on our way.Our next doctors visit is September 29th. We will keep you posted...
