E-mail Sent to Jesse About The Baby

I just wanted to let you know that our baby is a mover and a shaker. It wouldn't stay still for the lady to get a clear heartbeat for awhile, but then it finally did. It looked like it was doing breastroke in there with it's legs and arms going and it was flipping around and spinning. I got pictures too. I'll try to scan them tonight and send them out. Two are body profiles, one it's waving hi with a hand and the other is it's two feet from below. Like one is bent and kicking and the other is extended out. I was trying to record the heartbeat for you so I don't know that I watched it as much as I should have. Your mom loved it...she's never seen an ultrasound in motion before. BTW...there is only one in there. :) LOL.
 
The doctor was great. She said I could exercise whenever I felt better, was eating more and less exhausted and that I don't have to worry about the break in routine thus far. She said to try brushing my teeth with a finger. She offered a perscription for Zofran, but that's the chemo nausea medicine and I just don't think I want to take that. Hopefully in 2.5 more weeks (around 4 months preggo) I'll feel better. They answered all of my other questions too. And they took a lot of blood to do tests. No news is good news they said. She also said that I'll make up the weight loss when I start feeling better and my appetite comes back and the baby starts to grow. She said not to worry that I'm not showing yet and soon enough I will be.
 
I go back in on Tuesday Nov. 3 for another ultrasound where they will look at the baby's organs and make sure things are functioning correctly. That's when we can find out the sex. I think that's also when they do the tests to find out about any possible birth defects and disorders, etc.
 
Oh yea, they also said that it's spine looked nice and healthy in this ultrasound, along with everything else and they said it measures exactly with the projected due date, so it's still April 9th.
 
Well, I better go so I'm not late for work! LOL. I love you! I miss you! I hope you like this news! :) love, anna
