We had our third doctor's appointment today and we heard the baby's heartbeat! The first appointment it was too early and the second appointment we saw the heartbeat on the ultrasound but didn't hear anything, so this was exciting! The heart beat sounded really strong and healthy, but we didn't get to listen long. The baby kicked the doppler and did a back flip to get away from it! I think this means the baby is either shy and ran away from us or strong willed and just didn't want us to listen in! According to the doctor, the baby's heartrate was between 155 - 160 bpm.
We also scheduled our ultrasound before we left the doctors office to find out the sex of the baby. The appointment is on July 2nd, only 7 weeks away! Our next appointment is June 7th and I'll be taking the quad screen blood tests to see if the baby has any chromosomal defects such as Down Syndrome or spina bifida.
That's it for now ~ I'm still not really showing much and can most of the time fit into my regular pants. We'll add a picture when there's something to see!
