Today we heard baby's heartbeat steady and strong! The nurse and the doctor both found it on the first try. Last time with Ev, they couldn't find it once and freaked me out. Heartbeat was 156...on the fast side which usually means girl. Then again, they said that last time. :) It was nice that they found it immediately. It's kind of nice knowing what to expect at these appointments this time around. I immediately knew what those loud swish noises were on the doppler...kicks! They sound like karate kicks...amazing that I can't feel them yet. I have a feeling that it won't be much longer until I can feel the baby move though.
My doctor gave me LOTS of options for delivery this time, which was extremely comforting. He said he'd allow me to have the baby up to 10 days early, I could opt for a c-section, I could push for an hour and then go for a c-section, etc. These options were definitely not on the table last time, so I greatly appreciate having them now (especially after a hard delivery last time). Once again he thinks I'll have an easy delivery, but then again, he said that last time.
My next appointment is in a month and hopefully he'll let me have an ultrasound then. He may make me wait another week, but it's exciting to know if we'll be having another boy or a girl! Around that same time, we'll be moving in our new house. So much excitement, I can't contain myself! Happy happy. :)
