12 Week Appt.

I just got back from my 12 week appointment. Aside from them being 30 minutes late, it was an uneventful appointment. I was anxious to hear the baby's heartbeat but we had to sit and talk with the doctor first. She was very nice and took the time to chat with us. This is the first time at this practice and I liked them so much better than my original OB/GYN. I think I'll stick with them.

Anyway, after the fomality of chatting had passed, we went back in to the exam room and she broke out the doppler machine. It didn't even take two seconds for us to hear the heartbeat. That was the first time I heard the sound and it was pretty cool. Hopefully Jason thought it was worth taking that time off just to hear that.

So, that's all they really did. But, it seems that things are fine. The doc thought the heart sounded good. I forgot to ask how fast it was going, but I guess it doesn't matter if she liked it.

I have 4 more weeks before I go back... which will be the end of December.

On another note, the neurologist called me the other day and told me I can get an EEG to see why my face is having problems. He said we can't do anything about it, but at least the results will be on record.

But, I don't want to dwell on that today; I want to focus on the baby stuff.

So now I just have 4 more weeks of anxiety until my next appointment!

I'm so happy that your appointment went well. It must be awesome to hear the heartbeat. I can see your little belly pouch, too.
Oh, and I think I might have a handfull of those doggy treats on the table. Bark!

Ha... the funny thing is that you're looking at cat food, not dog treats. We have to keep the food off the ground so the dog doesn't eat it!

Mom said...

Ohhhh, then I guess I'll have a handful of the kitty food. Meow! (heehee)

I was very excited for you two to hear the hearbeat. It makes the baby even more real. Do your sisters have maternity clothes to hand down? I have some elestic waist pants you might fit into as you get bigger. Maybe that is what we should get you for Christmas, new clothes.

I don't have any hand-me-down clothes. I do have a lot of sweatpants, though! I think Jason loves them. I probably do need some clothes. My mom bought me a shirt but I haven't grown into it yet. I can't wait until I do.
