Another routine office visit today....

Nothing really exciting. I finally got to meet one of the doctors in the practice I'm going to - there are 6 doctors, yet I've only ever seen the Nurse Practicioners.

The appt was really quick - all the fun vitals, weight check ( up almost 8 pounds since last time - YIKES!), tummy measurement, and a quick listen of the heartbeat (which was MUCH easier to find this time around).

The doctor was really nice - said the weight gain was due to the fact that my uterus has "popped." I'm already measuring big. Great... another little baby for me! HA!!!

We chatted for a few minutes, he made sure I had my u/s appointment set up, and that was it. Next regular visit is in 4 weeks.

I like boring appointments. I can handle boring appointments. Let's just keep this going the way today's appointment did!

By the way - the countdown is ON! 2 weeks until we find out what this baby is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll keep ya posted!

I rented a Babybeat!

After the ordeal at the doctor's office, Gene and I discussed my renting a Babybeat. He knows how worried I am, and this would eliminate some of the stress.

So, I did it! Late Thursday night, I ordered one. It shipped out on Friday and was due to arrive here by Wednesday. Imagine my surprise when the package arrived YESTERDAY!!

I spent most of yesterday listening to the heartbeat. It took me no time at all to find it, and I was able to hold it there for quite some time. What a blessing!

Zander loves listening to the heartbeat, and wants to hear the baby in his belly, too. Jace, however, cannot stand it! He gets terrified whenever I pull the doppler out.

I'm going to hold on to this for a couple of months, at least. It's nice being able to listen to the baby whenever I want. (As long as Jace isn't around!) ;)
