The lima bean turns 14 weeks today. We had our first appointment with the UNC Midwives on Tuesday and they confirmed that yes, in fact i am not delusional and there is this little mini-neelops growing inside me. No ultrasound this appointment but we'll have the comprehensive 18 week ultrasound in a few weeks. They did check the jellybean's heart-rate with a doppler and it was beating at 157 bpms. Supposedly heart-beats for fetuses can range from 120-170.
Here's a picture of the peanut at 8 1/2 weeks with a whopping 175 beats per minute, moving around like a little spastic Mexican jumping bean! At that point her appendages hadn't fully developed but you can see the arm nubs.
Hello Sweet Little Lima Bean!
