Well, folks, we had the first 'official' prenatal appointment yesterday. The fun part, though, was that between the earlier appointments to figure out how far along we were, and last week's "oh-my-gosh-what's-happening" visit... we had already all the bloodwork, ultrasounds & urine tests done =! But, we did have a nice sit-down chat with Leslie (Birth Assistant) and Sam (the midwife) to review all kinds of stuff. At first, it seemed more responsibility than joy...
and then Sam took out the nifty Doppler thing AND WE COULD HEAR THE HEARTBEAT!!! Jim is much better at imitating the sound (see headline). Our little tyke seems mostly laidbaid and cooperative during these visits-- because it was fairly easy to get the heartbeat and it didn't seem like the baby was moving around or out of range.
So all is well! I am feeling much better, and there's no spotting anymore. Still a little tired and have night time heartburn. Jim-dad is excited, but feels like July is SO FAR AWAY (like when he was a little boy and was waiting for his bday after Christmas)... while I am excited, but am wondering how we'll ever get everything done or be ready in such a short time! The parenting balance begins...
Thanks for your continued prayers and support!
