Our first OB appointment went very well. Had to do the usual bloodtests and pap smear, nothing too exciting there except for a yeast infection (lucky me).
When it came time to try to hear the heartbeat, she warned that depending on baby's location and movements, there's only about a 50/50 chance right now she'd get it. I told her that our baby is a good listener and follows directions. As soon as the doppler touched my belly, Dr. Florido said, "It is a good listener" -- we could hear the heartbeat right away!! So cool to hear baby's fast heartbeat, with my slower wooshy heartbeat in the background. Tears of joy :) Baby's heartrate is still high - in the 160's - but Dr warned us against believing the wifes tales of boy/girl heartrates.
So - we won't get another ultrasound until the big 20 weeks boy/girl ultrasound -- but get to go back in 4 weeks just for usual checkup. Sing Praise for this miracle!!
Oh ~ and I haven't thrown up since Sunday!! (I really hope I'm not jinxing myself here...) Sing extra praise for that!!
