Baby Groves is growing so much. Hands and feet are emerging from the little arms and legs and the eyes already have some color. Morning sickness continued this week but I have learned that eating a few saltines before crawling out of bed helps a little. I also have started carrying snacks with me. I can be found with raisins, granola bars, or a banana at any given time.
We went back to the doctor on Thursday. I was so nervous I could have thrown up (not the morning sickness) or burst into tears. Nick was holding my hand as Baby Groves appeared on the screen. Baby is measuring right on track at 7 weeks 3 days (as of Thursday). Dr. Kedar found the heartbeat immediately....it was the most amazing moment! Then she gave Nick a scare when she said, "there is ONE heartbeat......and.....I am just going to take a few pictures...." HA!!! He told her that he thought she was going to point out a second heartbeat....we all had a good laugh as the color re-appeared in Nicks face. He said his heart stopped for a brief second at the thought of twins. She promised to choose her words more carefully next time.
After our appointment we both had to go back to work. This was near impossible when all I wanted to do was go to Babies R' Us and roam the aisles. I managed to make it to 5pm but did make a quick stop at Target for a cute "gender neutral" outfit for Baby Groves.
Here is our ultrasound picture from this weeks appointment. Looks a little like a baby penguin....although I am pretty sure that will change!! HA!
