End of First Trimester


As of today, I am at 12 weeks 5 days. We went to visit our OB, Dr. Lu at UCLA on Thursday. I also had an ultrasound appointment, which was the exciting part. Mike wasn't able to make it in time for my ultrasound appointment because he was caught up in the GI wards. As you can see, the baby is much bigger. The length from head to rump is about 6.5 cm. I was able to see the heart beating as well as the baby moving. The picture shows the baby sucking its thumb with the legs sticking up. I wonder when I will be able to feel the baby moving.

Mike was able to come by soon after the ultrasound appointment to meet Dr. Lu for our OB appointment. They knew each other before since Dr. Lu was one of Mike's professors during his OB/GYN rotation in medical school. Dr. Lu was very nice and talked to us about making healthy nutritional choices for the health of the baby.
