Last night was my first "doctor" appointment for this pregnancy. Apparently at this office, you only get to see the doctor for a few of the appointments. My next one, in a month, is with a nurse practitioner, for a "belly check." Makes me feel like a number once again...
So last night my mom and I went to my appointment. She and her husband are visiting for a week while on their two-month motorcycle trip this summer. It was fun to have my mom at the appointment and even more fun to see her face when the doctor found the baby's heart beat. It was going at a steady 155 beats per minute, nice and healthy. This was the reason my mom came with me for this appointment, just to hear the heart beat. It was also my first time with this one so it was exciting for us both. Once the doctor had the heart beat located I looked at my mom and she was gleaming-I thought she was going to cry so I quickly looked away so that I wouldn't cry myself. Later she said it brought back memories of hearing her babies' heart beats for the first time. Ahhhh! Great moment.

It was a great moment! First you hear the heart beat, then feel/see the movement, then the next thing you know there is another life. A wonderful little miracle. :)
(swish-swish-swish-swish=heartbeat)
Glad all is going well...I can't wait to hear the results of the next big milestone (ultrasound!).
BTW, last time I went into my OBs office I noticed Berdine is now working there...I didn't see her but it totally took me back to the receptionist days...
