Rusty and I had our 14 week appointment this last Wednesday. It was great! This was actually the first time I met with my actual ob/gyn since we found out we were pregnant. My first appointment was handled by another fabulous doctor in the practice. It was really great to see my doc. She gave us a huge hug and was so excited for us. She also had some exciting news to share. My doctor is also pregnant! Turns out she is due in January. This means she won't be able to handle our delivery in March. I really wasn't too bummed because the doctor who handled my initial appointment would like to take over my care towards the end of the pregnancy. He is a wonderful doctor and very hard to get into so I was pretty excited that he accepted me as a new patient.
After we got all of the "business" out of the way we were able to see how the baby was doing. Well we didn't actually get to "see" the baby this time. For some reason we didn't have and ultrasound this visit but our doctor used the doppler to check the heartbeat. Once she found it we couldn't believe how loud and strong it was. I think the most fun part was seeing the HUGE grin on Rusty's face when he heard it. Our doctor said the heartbeat sounded very strong and healthy at 165 beats per minute!
The next appointment we have is in early October around 19 weeks. This will be our big anatomy visit! Other than a belly pic at 16 weeks the sex of the baby will be our next big post! Until then, have a great September!
