Appointment #2

...was much better than the first. The tech that started off with us was really nice. She used a fun device to listen for the heart beat. I though we were going to be using a stethoscope, but no this instrument had gel and all. She did prep us by saying that she hadn't been having much luck, so I was listening patiently and after a couple of minutes it was quite apparently a beating heart that did not belong to me. I just laid back, closed my eyes, smiled and enjoyed the minute that we got to listen to Little Bud, it was like the debut. there really is a human growing in me... a bit of a freaky reality but amazing. 175 beats/minute! Such a fast rate.

So that was awesome. Then we met the mid-wife, who I loved. I though she was great. She checked all the internal stuff to make sure it was okay. Healthy cervix. I am relieved. There is just so much waiting to make sure that things are going well. She felt my uterus, as did Ben, which is growing properly.

I also passed all of my bloodwork, no need for a glucose test, and my pee was good too. I don't even need to bring in first morning urine, which I didn't bring in anyway... regardless.

so overall a great visit and things are progressing well. Our sonagram is scheduled for the 26th of September right in time to take pictures out to Ben's family when we drive out.
