Baby Herrbach picture

Here is our first picture of baby Herrbach, well that you can actually see something!! When we got the ultrasound we could see our baby kicking and wiggling and moving its arms around so fast! It was so neat to see our baby move so much. This is actually a bad picture compared to how much we saw. We could see the arms and legs and the little fingers while it moved and kicked. I think the doctor clicked the freeze button just a little too late. In this picture you can see the head and body with a little fist just above the belly and a little knee or foot moving around just to the right of the body. Chris and I were so excited to get to see our little one moving all around today!!

Baby Herrbach at 11 weeks and 3 days. Kicking up a storm!

We weren't even supposed to have a picture taken today, but the doctor was having a hard time finding the heart beat. It turns out that the baby is higher than he expected right now and was looking in the wrong spot. Which I am happy about because we got a nice picture out of it. Today I had to go in for an appointment to test my sugar levels in my urine because they were too high last week. Well...I failed the test again this week and need to go in for an hour long glucose test, probably tomorrow, to see if I could possibly get gestational diabetes. I'm not worried about it though. They also tested my blood today with a finger prick test and my blood sugar levels are very normal. So I guess we'll wait and see what they say after I fast and take the glucose test tomorrow morning.

Anyhow, I felt like it was a very good appointment and am starting to feel a lot better. My energy is starting to come back more and the nausea is not as strong as it was. I still avoid certain foods though. I am so thankful for how well the pregnancy is going and for having such a wonderful husband that has gone with me to all my appointments so far. We are so blessed. I will keep you posted on any new developments. After the glucose test tomorrow, my next appointment is not until April 16th.
