The Big Day

Well not the biggest day, but I was excited to see ONE healthy baby and hear it's wonderful heartbeat!

Here are the highlights:

* Because of my hypothyroid I will get ultrasounds again at 20 weeks at at the third trimester to check the baby's growth.
* I am 11 weeks, but measured the baby at 10 wk 5 days, not enough to change my due date of October 22, 2009.
* My rubella antibodies never 'took', so I need to stay away from people with rubella and get an MMR booster after the pregnancy
* I am classified as 'complicated' due to the back/tailbone/thyroid issues so I will only be seeing ob's, not midwife/nurse practitioners
* I have an appt at 17 weeks, ultrasound at 20, and appointment at 23 weeks. And continue the 4 week bloodwork/specialist visits.
* The baby is about 4 cm and was very active and had a heart rate of 168.
