12 week appt.

My second Dr. appt went great! We could hear Little P's heart beat with the Doppler this time! My uterus is officially out of my pelvic cavity and about an inch above my pelvic bone.

And Little P has the lowest possibility for Down Syndrome and the other things the Ultra Screen tested for! Yay for Little P you passed your very first test:)

I, however, have to start watching my weight gain. While Kim and Leslie reassured me that they both gained A LOT in their first trimesters and not to worry...My midwife wants me to try and stay under 10lbs gained until after week 20. We will see how that works out?!?!

First Dr. appt.

So I had the long Dr. appt. today. I had blood drawn, urine test, and a long talk about all things medical.

Then there was the physical examine. Talk about ouch with a breast examine right now! I have always known I have a backwards uterus and was told it would make a difference when I was pregnant. Well, it is true for the labor and pregnancy but found out today that is is harder to find/hear the baby's heartbeat early on with a backwards uterus:( Oh well...our baby is already daddies little buddy because it is waiting for him to share those amazing little flutters with the world.

Now I can not wait until 8/11!! I think will be the only year in history I will be excited for August!
