Baby McG Update

I just thought I would update you on today's Doctor's appointment.   Sean went with me again and it was just a short little appointment to check BP, urine test, and the baby's heartbeat.  Well, the first of the two were very easy; my BP is down from the first visit.  It was 130/82 today...which is actually high from when I take it at home...so I may have a bit of that "white coat syndrome".  

Then it was time to find the baby's heartbeat. Sean and I played a game to guess what it would be...my guess, 142; his guess 155. The nurse put the little sonogram thing on me and about 5 minutes passed with commentary such as "wow, it's never been this hard for me to find a heartbeat"  needless to say her bedside manor wasn't any good.  She then left and went to get the RN.  The RN came in the room; and I breathed a sigh of relief this was the nurse we had last time and she was GREAT!  She put that thing on me; and...20 seconds later we had a strong heartbeat of 154...Sean was so close!  

The Doctor says everything else looks good and that we will see him again on March 10th for the BIG ultrasound.  :-)

So glad to hear things are going well. I can't wait to hear what the baby is! I hope he/she cooperates. My daughter didn't so we didn't know what she was until she was born. Which was exciting too!

I'm getting even more excited for you!!! So glad you ended up getting the good nurse and she found the heartbeat so fast.

I look forward to hearing more about the little one. :)
