Today I got to hear my teeny little precious baby's heartbeat. What a sweet sound! The few moments that they are searching for it with the Doppler seem like forever and I was just hoping that they would find it and nothing would be wrong. Praise the Lord, a few seconds later, there it was, slightly faint because it's so early, but fast and strong! I asked if I was going to be able to have an ultrasound, but they stopped doing the early ones and only do them at 20 weeks, unless there is some sort of medical problem of course. Well, later on when she felt my uterus, she said that it was larger than normal and she thinks I am farther along. Which means.....I get an ultrasound in 2 weeks! Yay! I honestly do not think that I'm farther than I am (10 weeks), but I told her that I would definitely NOT object! I made it for 8am so that Nate could come with me before work. If I am 12 weeks, it would explain my sudden bursts of energy and almost extinct nausea, but I'm not counting on it. :) She said it could also just be because I've had a baby before and my uterus is ready to go to work right away.
She looked through my charts and reminded me of my high blood pressure last time, protein in my urine, en flamed blood vessels, PUPPS rash and said I wasn't allowed to have any problems this time. Hopefully that will be the case! :)
My due date as of now is October 3rd. I guessed it to be September 30-Oct. 3, so I was pretty on. My weeks start on Fridays, so I was 10 weeks on Friday.
Needless to say, I'm happy to have had an appointment and so thankful for the little person inside of me who is healthy and well so far!
