Yesterday, Tim and I went to the doctor to have an ultrasound to see how the baby is doing. We were waiting for our turn for nearly 2 hours, and that was difficult because we were both tired, but the desire to know how our baby is doing gave us encouragement to wait. Finally the time came for the examination and it was exciting when the doctor said ¨there is the baby¨.
We looked at the baby, and the doctor was describing everything, and showed us where was the baby´s head, then hands and feet, and heart (it was very special to see the little heart pumping).
She said the baby is 10 weeks, and 39mm, and then she said that the baby is moving, and we were amazed to see that the baby was very active. The baby moved his/her hands and feet, and was turning itself. It was so good to see that.
Although the photos of the ultrasound did not come out very well, it was still good to see how the baby has grown and developed. Although you can not visualize it very well, we have the memories etched in our memory, and I can picture the baby moving. It was really very wonderful, and made me think that God is so powerful, because he can do such a great work. I had so much joy in my heart that I praised God for how big he is.
Well, the insurance company will start covering payment at the next appointment. I think those pictures will be better, and I want to show those pictures on the blog.
The doctor told me I have to be more careful, and not be too active. He said its good to rest, because she saw some bruises outside of the uterus, which are occurring because of the various activities I have been doing, but now I will be more careful.
The other day my sister Ruth told me that it´s good to talk and say good morning to the baby, and to say good night to the baby when it´s time to go to sleep. I told this to Tim, but last night he told the baby ¨buenos dias´, which is good morning. And then the other morning he told the baby ¨buenas noches¨, which is good night. I told my husband that the baby would be confused.
Later we have another appointment with a doctor, and she will be looking at the results from yesterday, and might tell me to go ahead and start taking the prenatal vitamins (up until now I´ve just been taking folic acid)
I hope that you have a good and calm today.

Oh dear Eliana, Tim was a very active baby!!! ha! Is this baby going to be like daddy? But he was a very good baby...not fussy.
Glad to hear the appointment went well and everything is looking good. 39mm......that would be less that than 2 inches. Amazing something that small can be so active. How exciting.
I have never heard of bruising outside the uterus. But then again, sonagrams were only used on our last baby.
Well, I'm headed outside. It is beautiful and need to do a little gardening.
Love the updates!!!!

I'm so glad you posted about the pregnancy and the ultrasound! It's quite strange to see movement inside you and not be able to feel it! I'm also glad that your smell sensitivity is fading. I didn't have it that bad with either baby, but I was nauseous 24/7 with both. I was really amazed at the difference in my pregnancies. They were so different--in the symptoms and the level of activity! And Anna & Jacob are so very different outside the womb:)
Well, thanks for posting about how things are going. I hope the sickness part is behind you and I hope you're able to take it a little easy--pregnancy is a good excuse to get waited on hand & foot ;)

Well, it sounds like Tim is teaching the baby some excellent Spanish :).
Hopefully you'll get to feeling better soon. All of the activity going on in the sonogram makes me suspicious that its a boy. We'll have to see if my hunch is right!!
Happy Mother's Day!
