Hey ladies! First chance I've had to update, but my appointment went well. Of course I was all nervous bc I hadn't felt baby move much at all and it's been fairly often the past few days. I usually love my Dr. but I was a bit annoyed with her today (especially since I had been nervous!) As she's putting the Doppler on my belly she goes "oh I forgot to change these batteries" soo it continues to cut off every 5 seconds, but she continues to put it onto my belly, we hear a heartbeat and she says "oh that was easy!" I said, "Stupid question, but how can you tell that that's the baby and not my heartbeat." She grabs my wrist to feel my pulse and goes well normally your heart rate shouldn't be that fast, but that is yours, why are you so nervous, calm down! She moves it a bit and we can hear a faster different sound and she's like oh there's baby, but we only hear it for a few seconds before the machine cuts off again. But what we did hear she said was 145bpm, at the 12 week u/s it was 157. I went ahead and got my flu shot too and my arm is killing me now at work!
I scheduled my 20 week u/s appointment for Wednesday Nov. 5th. But if all goes as planned we'll just get the tech to write it down and give it to my sister and she's planning a gender reveal party for us on that Friday.
