Second Ultrasound!


9w2d
We went back to the doctor today.  We went over all of my many blood tests from our last visit(s).  I found out my blood type (O+).  The doctor said that when the baby is born, we will need to blood type him/her as well.  If Ben is anything other than O, the baby will have a higher chance at becoming jaundice, but the doctor didn’t seem worried about it.   As far as the rest of the blood tests, everything was good to go!
We also got to see our little one and hear the heartbeat again!! Wow, it is amazing the difference 3 weeks makes!  His/her heartbeat was 171 this time, which the doctor said was right on track for 9 weeks.  Also, baby now actually looks like a baby!  We were able to see a clear head and body and cute little arm and leg buds!  It was absolutely remarkable! 
            We get to go back in 3 more weeks to do genetic testing, which will include another ultrasound!  I think I’m getting spoiled getting to have an ultrasound each time I go in.
