9 Weeks

We went for our first doctor's appointment for the new baby this week. Everything went well! I had an ultrasound and the baby looked great! It measured at about 9 weeks and 2 days. That puts my due date around August 14th. It had a heart rate of 164! We could see it moving and we could see its arm and leg buds starting to develop. We were very excited to get a good report! When we got home we showed the ultrasound picture to John Turner. We told him this was his baby brother or sister. His response was, " That's a big mountain!". He continues to call it a mountain every time he looks at the picture! HAHA!!!

Here is our first official family of four photo!

(I didn't have a blog until right before John Turner was born. So, I didn't get to journal about my pregnancy with him. I totally regret that! I am planning on doing it with this baby. I probably won't be able to do it every single week, but I do plan to update and post pictures throughout the pregnancy.)

I am 9 Weeks!
