Well, I had an appointment today... bright and early at 8 am. At first I couldn't believe that I had made an appointment so early when I could have easily slept in, but as the appointment went on I was glad that I had made it for that time. Every other appointment I had gone to I was in and out... this one I was able to sit and talk to the doctor for 45 mins. without feeling rushed.
The appointment went really well. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the very first time today! What an amazing thing that was to experience. It made this pregnancy feel so much more real. I actually have a living being, with a heartbeat, growing inside of me! I can't even explain the feeling I got when I heard the first beat. The doctor said that the heartbeat is very strong and healthy. This was the second doctor that has told me that I have a very "active baby" inside of me. The little one was moving around so much we could hear it sloshing around on the doppler. I just hope it decides to settle down a little before its time to come out!
I gained 4 pounds since my last appointment. Holy cow! I freaked out a little, ha, but the doctor assured me that I am at a very ideal weight and that I'm by no means getting too big. Phew! I told her how afraid I was of having to be told to stop eating so much and she laughed at me. She then told me that with being so small from the start that it wouldn't be unlikely for me to gain about 30 pounds! I almost cried when she told me that. Lets hope I can keep the weight down... 30 may be a bit hard to lose after baby comes!
That's all for now. I'm looking forward to feeling Baby Hill move around, which I was told will happen before my next appointment! I go back early March.. I will get to find out if Baby Hill is a he or a she at that time!! So exciting! =)
