Week 7 + 5 days (11/22/2011)

This is our first official prenatal Dr's visit.  Ultrasound was performed to check if mini b has a heartbeat and measure the size of growth.  Everything checked out to be normal and healthy. The sonographer described mini b as a gummy bear at this stage as his/her hands and legs are not fully developed yet.  We are thrilled to see our baby and can't wait till the next ultrasound.

After the ultrasound, I had my blood drawn.  It took the nurses quite awhile to draw 10 tubes of blood from me as my veins are too tiny.  They poked me everywhere and were so scared that I would pass out.  Luckily, they got enough blood for all the screening. The blood test came back all normal except deficient in Vitamin D.  The Dr prescribed me new prenatal vitamins and hopefully mini b will benefit from them.
