Doctor's Visit

So...I was barely able to sleep last night...I was so anxious and nervous this morning...but I got there pee'd in a cup (does anyone besides me hate doing that? I always make a mess for some reason) did my blood pressure (it was very good for me!) and my weight (down a few pounds according to the doc not sure exactly how much) and then to the room to wait. She came in and I had brought my Mom and my neice Savannah who is 3 and a half she was so excited to hear the baby's "heartbeep" lol so they got the doppler out and warned me it was hard to find at 12 weeks and if we couldn't find it she would do an ultrasound...she worked about 1-2 minutes trying to find it I told her that the baby was on my right side according to the ultrasound so she went to that side and within a couple of seconds found it...nice and strong at 160 bpm!!! 

I am able to go off my progesterone suppositories (thank goodness for that!) and off the blood pressure pills (yeah for that too!)

Thanks for all the well wishes and thoughts!!

Have a fabulous day!

awesome news! We must have been posting at the same time - just posted to check in on you.

Glad all went well. I can imagine that the look on your neice's face was priceless!

hummm and 160 - dare I put my bet in now - GIRL!

she was so excited...she was repeating the doctor when she said everything looks just excellent and savannah said "excellent" and starting clapping...she is a hoot!

Ohhhhhh!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!! Your niece sounds so cute!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks Traci!

Glad to hear the happy news of a good dr visit.  Your niece is funny...I like the 'heartbeeps.'

Thank you Holly!

Congrats on a great appointment Flora!!
I'm not going to give my guess yet. But I will tell you that my LO's HB was in the 150's during my first appointment but slowly crept down as I got furthur along - so don't go based on old wives tales just yet :-)

Your neice sounds adorable. My nephew David, who will be 4 in September - the first time we told him Aunt Nona had a baby in her belly - he said "take him out so I can play with him." At that point we told him he wasn't ready to play yet. So every time we see him now, he will say "Aunt Nona, is Drew ready to play with me yet?" He's adorable. I love little kids!
