OB Appointment

So the appointment went very well yesterday! Baby's heartrate was 154! I measured 7 weeks and 5 days and I was 8 weeks yesterday by LMP so we are staying with 8 weeks and my official due date is Jan 7, 2010!!! Only one day off of what I thought it was!

I went ahead and talked to her about birth because it is so important to me. I told her if I didn't live in Alabama that I would be seeing a midwife. She said well honey I am the closest you are going to come to a midwife in this practice!!! YEAH!!! That is great news!!! She agreed with laboring at home for as long as possible, walking around during contractions, and that it is always okay to change my mind once we are there lol...

I am including a pic of the ultrasound sorry it is so little had a hard time getting it on here lol (i am challenged sometimes)

Have a great Friday!!!

Isn't the heartbeat the most  beautiful sound?  Congrats!

I didn't get to hear it this time but the next time I go in I should be able to!! Oh and my nurse just called me back and told me I have to go back on the Progesterone Suppositories twice a day I am bummed but my levels went from 12.7 to 15.9 but she wants it at 20...I am so bummed...it makes me so sick but anything for the baby!!

Most docs have you off the suppositories at 12 weeks, so maybe not too much longer.  Once that baby is in your arms, you forget everything.  I was a human pin cushion when I was pregnant with my son, because I have 'sticky blood' that caused me to miscarry before him.  I would do it all over plus some... he is so worth is! 

My doc allowed me to tape the heartbeat for my son and this pregnancy... just a thought.  I still listen to them and my son dances when he hears his heartbeat from when he was inside of me.. it's cute!

Aww how sweet!!!

Sounds wonderful :)
