3 Month Appointment

Dave and I had our 3 month appointment today for Baby. The appointment was actually less eventful than I expected, but I guess they can't all be as exciting as the first ultrasound and actually seeing the little one inside me! We did get to hear the heartbeat this time though, as I thought. I was ready to go into this special room with a machine and basically, it was this little portable device that the nurse had that was able to detect the heartbeat. It only took her a few tries on my tummy to find the heartbeat and you could definitely tell it was a rapid little pace at 148 beats per minute!! I was trying to be so still for the nurse to count and I had tears welling up in my eyes - it was just an amazing sound! Thankfully we'll get to hear that sound at every appointment in the future!!! I guess next appointment they'll start measuring my belly, which can help them tell how much Baby is growing. Also, I am able to schedule the 20 week ultrasound now where we can find out the sex (IF WE CHOOSE TO...ahem, Rachel) and get to see all the organs and stuff I guess.

They also weighed me at this appointment and quite frankly, I don't like their scale! ha ha. I'm going to blame the extra pound or two on the Wendy's burger I had right before the appointment since I was starving - and you really never know how long you have to wait to get into the doctor's office - it's never at the actual appointment time! That's all for now - I wish I had another ultrasound pic to load up, but not this time. I'm sure we'll take another belly shot this weekend or next - hopefully in front of a better background where you can fully appreciate the growth of my mid-section.
