So I had my 2nd prenatal appointment last night. Basically, we just did weight, blood pressure, etc. Then he was going to use the doppler machine to try and find the heartbeat. I got his disclaimer that he may not be able to find it this early or it may take him a little while to find it, so I shouldn't freak out. I said ok, and we got started. He placed the probe on my belly and right away, there it was. We didn't measure it, but he said it sounded very strong and healthy. It's just so reassuring to hear a heart beating inside your belly (also kind of alien like..hehe). After that we discussed a few questions I had and made my next appointment for August 12 and we were on our way! I honestly think I waited in the waiting room longer than the actual appointment.
David and I decided to buy our own doppler to be able to hear the heart beating whenever we want. It will be kind of neat to hear it whenever and reassuring if we think something is wrong. It wasn't that expensive, about $120 from amazon and from what I hear, pretty reliable. Mine even has a digital readout on it, so I can actually measure it. I should get that on Monday, so I'll try it out then and let you all know what I think.
Other than that, I do feel like the nausea and morning sickness are definitely on their way out, which is great because I was worried when all these people start telling me that their morning sickness lasted all 9 months....really, cuz I didn't need to hear that...haha! I'm still super tired, but trying to keep up with housework and other stuff that needs to get done. Other than that, I have no other news to report for now. Thanks for listening to my ramblings...
