Yesterday we went in for our 11 week appointment. We said a little prayer on the way because we hopped everything was going to go ok. We thought we would get another ultra sound but instead we got to hear the heartbeat of baby White. First the nurse brought us into a room to go over our family healthy history. She asked about my health and our familys health. She asked about how I was doing and if we had any questions. She gave us a packet on CMC and all the courses they offer for parents. She then had me lay on the table and used the doppler to find the heartbeat. I was really nervous. A million questions went through my mind what if she cant find it? What if its weak? Then before I could ask myself another question she found it. It was soo cool to hear the heartbeat. Every time she found it the baby would move. She said our little one had a strong heartbeat of 170!! I turned to my husband and said, "oh a high heartbeat means girl!", he didnt seem too thrilled with that statement but the nurse reminded him it was still early. We were thrilled and Matthew did get a little tear in his eyes. Then we met with the doctor who said we would come back for our 16 week appointment on November 7th. We would do another urine check up and heart monitor. Then December 5th he said we would be back for our next ultra sound for gender test and the check the heart and brain of the baby. He asked if we wanted any genetic testing done and we said no. Its not going to make a difference if there is something genetically different about our baby or not we are still going to love it with all our hearts... and yes Matthew will love it even if its a girl. He is soo excited!
Until next time.. goodbye!
