The last two weeks were two of the slowest weeks I can remember... I was so excited when I woke up this morning that the day of our ten-week appointment had finally arrived! I've had some aches and pains that have caused me some anxiety so I was eager to know that everything was okay with the baby - and it is! The doctor attributed my aches to growing pains and gave us a glowing report. We are officially ten weeks pregnant today, but the baby has really been growing and measured at ten weeks, three days (my personal indication that I've been successful with my protein challenge.) The doctor also said the baby must be very active, because the umbilical chord looked long for just ten weeks. Hearing the heartbeat made my tears swell up again - it's such a soothing sound! Amazingly, we were able to actually see the heartbeat this time and we could see the blood pulsing through the umbilical chord to the baby!
We go back for another ultrasound, which we will have recorded on DVD on July 16 and our 14-week appointment on July 28.
Baby Roberts at ten weeks. The head is in the upper-left of the photo and if you look closely, you can see its arms by its side and the tiny legs tucked up near the tummy.
