154

Today I went for another doctor's appointment. I didn't realise that with every appointment I'll get a chance to hear the baby's heartbeat. I was excited to get to hear it again today. Nice and strong and loud. The baby was also moving a bit as she tried to count the rate. The heartbeat was up to 154 beats per minute this time, which might debunk Lisa's theory that it's a boy!

Doug was disappointed that he hadn't come with me. I thought it was just a check up and peeing in a cup, so I told him not to bother coming. Guess from now on we'll go to the appointments together so he'll get to hear the heartbeat too.

She also measured my stomach/uterus and it is right on target for 16 weeks.

Everything going well so far. This whole experience to date can only be an extreme case of good luck! Darn, should have bought that lottery ticket!!
