Well we had our appointment on Novemeber 14, 2012.
The first happy news of the day was that Matt was able to come with me to the appointment!
The second good news Dr. H wasn't concerned with my weight gain. I have gained a total of 14 pounds so far. I'm averaging about 1 pound a week since starting the second trimester.
Third good news, we got to hear the heartbeat. Dr. H had another student doctor with her- she lubed my belly up, stuck the Doppler on the right side on tht protruded bump that keeps growing and "whoosh whoosh whoosh". We have a heartbeat! 144 beats per minute. Do you see all this 14s. The appointment was on the 14th. The heartbeat started with 1-4.......
AND.....
We only have 14 weeks left until this bundle of joy makes an appearance in this world. Our due date got changed! At the last ultrasound baby was measuring about 2 weeks larger. Dr. H measured my belly which was measuring at 26 weeks instead of 23-24. So I asked if she was planning to change the due date. She grabbed a look at the ultrasound again and said she's thinking February 28th. Wow! This baby is coming sooner than we thought.
Sure I know that baby will come when baby is ready. But wowza!
Matt tried to convince Dr. H to give him hand signals behind my back to tell him if was a boy or girl. Luckily for him she didn't. She did say there was only one, which Matt said he would be ok if there were two and she laughed saying I can see that. But there is only one. Hopefully that wasn't a reference to a penis. But either way this momma and daddy are going to be ecstatic when this little mystery enters the world!
