doc appt

For some reason I get so nervous the day of my appointments, especially today. My appetite has subsided some and now I really feel not pregnant. I was really looking forward to hearing the heartbeat this morning to settle my nerves. This baby is really stubborn. They had trouble finding the heartbeat again. I'm sure they would have had no trouble finding mine since it was through the roof. But, there it was. 153 bpm. There was no worry on the doc's face so I have to believe that if there was a problem he would have told me. "Position of the baby, must be having a bad day" is what he said. "Everything looks good. Just try to enjoy it". Well, that's all I need to hear. I'm better now.

Everything else was good too - blood pressure, iron levels (I hate finger pricks) and my weight. Which, by the way, is not going up as fast as it did last time. At this time with Addison I had already gained 15 pounds. Only 8 so far, weighing in at 114. I feel quite proud of myself.

My next appt is the ultrasound on December 11th. I really hope that I feel the baby move between now and then to calm my nerves a little. I thought I would be more at ease this time around. Funny how that works.

And just a side note, Addison's heartbeat was always in the 170 range. They say boys are lower. Maybe I have a stubborn, uncooperative boy in there.
