January 20th I had my second Dr. appt! It was awesome! I am 18 weeks along – so almost half way!!! The doctor went over the results of my blood work that they took last appointment and everything came back looking great which is always good! My blood pressure is lower than average but that’s good I guess. So things are going great. I am feeling MUCH better now – the 2nd trimester is much better than the first haha!
One of my favorite parts of the appointment was when the doctor was trying to listen to the heart beat. First of all, I was getting really nervous because she was moving the “wand” or whatever you want to call it – all over my stomach and we couldn’t hear anything, and then we heard the heartbeat for a split second and then it went away! But then the doctor started laughing and said “Wow! Either your baby really likes to move, or the sound is scaring him or her!” So that made me feel better, but it was just really funny because every time we would hear the heartbeat for a second, it would go away! So basically my baby likes to move and the doctor was “chasing” him/her all over my stomach with the wand. LOL
One other amazing thing that has been happening is that every so often I can feel the baby move!!! What a neat experience that has been. Usually it is just VERY subtle flutters in my stomach, but the other day it felt like the baby jumped I could feel it so strong! It was so neat! I love experiencing moments like this – I’m already so excited to be a mom!!!
We will be finding out really soon the gender of our baby – I’m so excited for that to – we post on here as soon as we know so you will all know too!!!
Until next time!
Feeling the baby move is the best feeling in the world. I'm so happy for you guys. Can't wait to hear what you'll be having.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better then feeling your baby move, especially the first time. I'm so excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting Lisa!
ReplyDeleteoh good! I am so glad everything is going well! yay!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool you felt it move! I've heard you can start to feel it as early as 14 weeks and that it feels like butterflies too, I'm nervous I won't be able to notice if it moved or not! So I'm glad you said you felt it strong! It gives me hope! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be able to feel your baby move! That would be so scary, even if it was just a few minutes/seconds, to not hear the heartbeat though. I love how much you're documenting everything. I think you'll be so happy you did later, and I'm really happy you are! Can't wait to see what the sex will be, I'm thinking girl though! Glad you are feeling better!
