The doctor's appointment went great. Of course I was a nervous wreck waiting in the waiting room. They had me fill out the registration paperwork to deliver at GBMC. Hello! I am just trying to get past the first trimester here! Then they had me fill out a depression screening thing as well. Then they called me back and took my blood pressure which was perfect. Then we met the doctor who asked us a few questions about our history and did the pelvic exam and breast exam. Then they wheeled in the u/s machine and my heart started pounding. It was still a t/v u/s but I was okay with that, after all I am used to being wanded. Right away the doctor turned the screen towards me and said "there's your baby and there's the heartbeat." I was amazed at how much our little Doozer had grown! He actually looks like a little baby now! So cute! As we watched him he did a little wiggle and I let out a loud awwwwwww! He showed us the umbilical cord and we could still see the yolk sac although the doctor said the baby is getting what it needs from the placenta now. Doozer measured at 9w4d which the doctor said was fine for 9w6d. I wanted to see him move again so the doctor poked him a few times and we saw a little arm fly up as if to say "talk to the hand, I'm sleeping!" Just like his mommy! The doctor changed to a front view and we got watch the baby that way for a bit. We saw a little arm go up and were even able to see little tiny fingers. The u/s machine was really clear and the doctor said it was brand new. Finally we decided that Doozer was sleeping and wasn't going to give us more than a few dismissive arm waives so we ended the u/s. Then I got dressed and the doctor came back in to talk to us. He kept of saying he was excited because he loved to see a couple that tried so hard to get pregnant finally get their wish. He knew a little about IVF and he also knew a lot about PCOS. He warned me of all the things I already knew like the increased chance of getting GD and high blood pressure. We loved the doctor, he was nice and funny and really understanding. He congratulated us again and asked me to make an appointment to come back in 4 weeks. Then we headed to the lab for blood tests. They took a gazillion vials of blood from me and asked me to pee in a cup and then we got to leave. I can't believe we have to wait 4 weeks! Seems like an eternity! Whew!And, here is the diaper cake I made, let me know what you think.

What a cutie pie your baby is! I'm so happy for you. The diaper cake is really cute, thanks for posting.
Hi, I stumbled over here through Nancy's blog. I absolutely love your baby's picture. I had my first scan at 6w4d and could barely see anything. I can't wait until my next scan next Thurs at almost 9w5d. After looking at yours, I'm guessing mine will actually look like a real baby!
Oh and the diaper cake looks great. I've seen some on tv and at baby showers, but never really thought of a person making them. You're very talented!
Very very cute!! My little one was squirming yesterday too. I like the side view; I didn't get to see our little Blueberry from that angle.
The diaper cake is beautiful, BTW. Your step-sister-in-law is crazy not to fully appreciate it!

The diaper cake is super cute and even I think I have officially fallen in love with Doozer! They are one cute kid :-) I'm so glad everything went well, and that you had an awesome appointment. I think Doozer and Spot would be friends if they lived closer, whatcha think?
Glad you got a nice look at the little cutie!!
Doozer is so cute! It's great to read that everything went well with the u/s. The 4 week wait in between appointments, is torture, I agree.
I love, love, love the diaper cake!
YAH for a great dr appointment.
I am glad you like your dr.
THatdiaper cake is amazing- great job!
That's an amazing picture!
Many congrats on your pregnancy and on such a good scan.
I find it weird how much stuff they want to sort out so early on. I'm WAY too superstitious to be thinking further ahead than my next scan!!
Good luck - oh, here via nacomleavmo
