So, almost 1 year ago, when at our second OBGYN appointment, we left in tears because they were never able to find the heartbeat on the doppler. This time, we left in tears because we DID get to hear the heartbeat on the doppler!!!! It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life. In one second, my heart went from being 100% nervous about having another miscarriage, to being 100% sure that this baby is here for good and that come April, we will be meeting him/her! The heart was beating between 130 and 140 beats per minutes, which she said was perfect! Also, the baby was squirming all over the place and she could only keep the heartbeat for about 10-20 seconds at a time. Then it would move away. But she was able, at one point, to get my heartbeat at the same time as the baby's, and it was so neat to hear the comparison between the two! When the baby kept moving away, she said "Well you have a little trouble maker! He doesn't want to sit still for us!" And I said, "Actually, he's cooperating just perfectly because he let us hear his heartbeat! And that's all I wanted!" Anyway, then she did the full physical (pap smear, breast exam, etc.) That was... fun! Ha! Then she gave us a big bag of stuff! Free magazines and books and coupons and stuff. We received he same bag of stuff last time, but she wanted us to have a new one cause it had newer magazines and updated coupons. Then she gave Jeff a "dad'' diaper bag. Basically, a diaper bag that isn't feminine. It's like a backpack diaper bag. Pretty cool! He was quite thrilled really because it's MUCH less feminine than the Vera Bradley Diaper Bag we have :) So, our next appointments are October 27th - just a typical appointment. Then on November 24th (the Tuesday before Thanksgiving) we get to find out the gender!!!! WOOHOO!!!
