On Monday we got to go in for our second appointment. It was a crazy day, we showd up as our midwife was going to the hospital to check on a patient starting labor. The nurse said she should be back shortly, she wasn't delivering anytime soon so it wasn't a big deal. 5 minutes later the nurse came back to tell us the baby was coming now, and said the midwife wouldn't be able to make it to the appointment. Since the hospital/clinic is 20 minutes from our house, and my midwife was going to be out the rest of the week, they squeezed us in with another midwife between appointments.
Even with all this craziness, we got all of our questions answered and got to hear the little heartbeat! It was 170 bpm (normal at this stage is 120-180). The old wives tale is that if it's high it's a girl, so I am hoping that is true for us! :-) It was so cool to hear it going so fast and really feel like something is in there (because other than the boobs hurting and having to pee all the time you really don't feel pregnant yet!). Our next appointment is the 1st week in December, and then the one after that we should find out the sex of the baby!!! (It should be the week between Christmas & New Years, so it will be a good holiday surprise!) Hopefully all stays well!

Cool!
ReplyDeleteI thought of something as I read this. Laura suggested a website to me, babycenter.com, when I was pregnant that she used. I had the books and all but I really liked the website too! It gives updates each week, has answers to commonly asked questions and even reminders of some things to do to prepare each week. If you haven't heard of it, check it out! Like I said, I really enjoyed it and so did she :)
Hey Jenny!! Congratulations! I just saw you are following my blog and found yours!! Too much fun! Isnt it amazing to hear your baby's heartbeat! I think it is one of the most amazing sounds in the whole world! I just read your other blog posts... enjoy dates out of the house while you can- while its easy and dont have to get a sitter. :) Kids/babies are absolutely amazing! It's so cool how many spiritual parallels God gives us during pregnancy- trusting Him (Prov 3:5-6)and casting our worries on Him (Phil 4:6-7) to name a few and then He continues on with so many spiritual lessons in parenting and Im assuming it just continues! God bless you and Im excited to hear more about your little blessing and see pictures next Spring!
