I'm in love...

...with the tiniest heartbeat I've ever heard :) I went in for my monthly checkup today and things are looking great! It was a strong 150 and my doctor said it sounded great, no concerns. She even thought we heard a kick when she first put the Doppler on my tummy. I think pumpkin seed is like his/her father, doesn't like to be woken up from a deep sleep! And pumpkin seed, was of course, difficult again...it took a little longer than last time to find the heartbeat but after about a minute or so, there it was and it was beautiful (and there was one big sigh of relief from a happy momma). On some of the bump boards I read, I see heartbeats of 170-180+ which kinda concerns me since ours is so low but my doctor isn't the least bit concerned, so I trust her over internet boards and random strangers.

My uterus is measuring at 15-16 weeks, which is right on target...I'm 14w4d today and the measurement should be around that, within 2 weeks. My weight hasn't gone up since my last visit, which is good news for me (I have a lower target than most, since your target is based on your pre-pregnancy weight)...but the nightly walks and eating better are doing me good, I hope it continues!

My doctor put in the ultrasound request today (I'll have to visit another clinic for it since they don't have the equipment at mine) so I should recieve a call this week to schedule it and we'll be heading in for that sometime after mid-May...which is not that far away, only a couple weeks, eekkkk!

My doctor printed a packet of all my information to take on our trip (just in case), so we are ready for vacation!! :) Is it 4:00 yet?!?!?
