Today we had a few appointments. First we met with Dr. Forrest, our OB in Fairfax. We were able to hear the baby's heart for the first time. It was amazing, well not at first....unfortunately the Baby Doppler was running low on batteries. So instead of heartbeats, we heard alien like squeals, all 3 of us could not stop laughing. There was an alien in my tummy! Eventually he grabbed a new Doppler and we were finally able to hear our baby's heartbeat. Loud and strong and right around 150 beats minute.
Then it was of to Fairfax Hospital for a cervical measurement and pics of our little one. The room was great, nice comfy bed and a large plasma TV nearly 50 inches to watch our baby move around. At first the baby wasn't cooperating, but after some Mommy movements, the baby cooperated and moved how we wanted. We were able to see the legs and arms stretching around, and bouncing all over. Again we heard the heartbeat, around 158 beats a minute. I was dying to know the sex, but the Dr. said it was way to early and to stop asking!! Oh well, guess we'll have to wait another 6-8 weeks.
