Whew!

So I had my check up yesterday, and I didn't really know what I was in for. Dr. Joy talked to me about how I've been feeling, etc. She felt around my abdomen, and of course I did the oh-so-fun-and-exciting pee test. Then she pulled out her little hand-held doppler fetal heart beat unit. She proceded to lube up my tummy and move the unit around my tummy... for about 20 seconds... which is a VERY long time when you're expecting/hoping to hear a heart beat. Pure silence... then...

bu-dump, bu-dump, bu-dump, bu-dump, bu-dump

The cutest little sound ever! I remember hearing/seeing the heartbeat at 7 weeks -- I cried.
This time -- I cried. It is honestly the most comforting thing I have ever heard. I would carry around that hand-held unit all day if I could. I wonder how much one costs??

We listened for about 3 minutes... but Dr. Joy kept having to move the unit around my belly. Apparently the little guy is swimming around in there! She could feel it/hear it moving... I can't wait 'til I can feel it move!

So the doctor says everything's looking and sounding great. I'm in great shape health-wise. The baby's levels are great, my levels are great... everything is great.

Positive thoughts.
