So today was our second appt and we got some very good news! Little Peanut and me are doing great. I'm growing and gaining an acceptable amount of weight but most importantly little Peanut is perfect. We finally got to hear the heartbeat today and I was very happy and relived about that. Peanut wasn't being very cooperative as the doctor tried to find it's heartbeat. At first all she could find was my heartbeat but after a few minutes she found Peanut's. Peanut was bouncing all over the place and wouldn't stay still long enough to get a good heartbeat, but eventually he/she settled down. Peanuts' heartrate was distinctly faster than mine and was measured at a healthy 140 bpm. It was so surreal to hear and funny too because it sounded like a washing machine. Ray and I are very proud. Going forward until I'm in my last month that's pretty much all the action were going to get at the doctors when we go every 4 weeks! They're just going to check on Peanut's heartrate and check my weight and belly size and that's about it. I will have a 20 week ultrasound done and at around 27 weeks will have to get more blood tests done but it seems like it will (hopefully) be uneventful and smooth sailing until about May.
Also today, I heard that Jessica Alba is expecting and is due around the same time I am due. Hopefully this means that Peanut and Jessica Alba's baby will have a lot in common!!
