The doc gave the old thumbs up at my appointment today. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat today. (Last month the doppler device wasn't working.) They look for a heartbeat between 120 and 180 bpm. Our baby registered at 146bpm. Not bad! Everything is looking good.
We are scheduled for our second ultrasound on Friday morning. I will post more ultrasound pictures by this weekend so be sure to check back. Since I have reached 'old' childbearing years, we will get the level 2 ultrasound. Apparently it is about an hour long and they measure every nook and cranny of the baby. We will also find out the sex of the baby. (My family all predicts a girl!) So, Friday is the BIG day. I'm excited!
According to my pregnancy website, the baby should be about 6 inches long by now and 8 ounces. It is crazy how fast things move along.
I have started having trouble sleeping. I don't stay comfortable for too long. Glenn reminds me to roll onto my side when I end up sleeping on my back, the forbidden sleeping position for pregnant women. My friend said that she slept much better with her maternity body pillow. So, guess what I am doing this weekend? You guessed it, shopping for a body pillow!
I've also been getting leg cramps to keep me from sleeping.
Well, I will post more in a couple days. See you then.
