Well, I have been at a loss for blog ideas...I mean what more can I share about our weekends; we went to lunch and movies (yes movies; we snuck into one) while that was lots of fun, I don't think I want to bore you...and well, I was given strict instructions not to blog about our experience at the Social Security office to FINALLY go and change my name...so, why not talk about our second Dr.'s appointment...and a bit about the pregnancy so far!!!
Today was our second Dr.'s appointment and can I tell you how much I love my Doctor! It's such a great feeling to have such an amazing Dr...and yes, it's a guy doctor which I NEVER thought I would have. Well, anyways, today was our second appointment and the nurse asked me a million questions and told me I was boring because of the lack of medical history...and then the best part- she took my blood pressure and it's back down! It was 132/85 or something like that...where the last time it was threw the roof! Other great news is that my blood test from the previous appointment said that I have enough immunity to fight off chicken pox (I have never had them, so I feel like I won the jackpot there!!)
Finally, the nurse put the little heart monitor on my belly and warned us about the potential on not hearing the heart rate because it's still pretty early; if she didn't hear it, she would then do an ultrasound. After watching 'Marly & Me' this past weekend, we so badly wanted to hear the heartbeat at 10 weeks. So, I took a deep breath as the little device touched my belly, and the nurse said within a second "Wow, this is a good little baby" (because we instantly heard the heartbeat) which made me laugh at how the nurse said that...and then because of my laughter it took a few moments to find the heartbeat again...but we heard it!!! 162...and sounded like a little horse galloping or a train chuggling along.
The sound of the heart beat was so amazing and made me think for a moment while I was listening; as my symptoms of being tired are starting to uplift it's hard for me to even realize there really is a little baby in me...and right now I am the one taking vitamins, eating healthy and trying my best to be active for this little one is all worth it...I can't wait to get that little bump (despite the clothing size) and feel this little one kick me (even if it's in the ribs)...but most of all, I can't wait to see this baby, hold this baby in my arms because I have hunch it's a boy...and he's going to look just like his Daddy!
In 10 weeks we will find out if my hunch is right...so many people are telling me it's a girl...I still say boy!
