Heartbeat again!

I am getting excited, because this is the third doctor appointment, and we heard the heartbeat again today!  

I have been really cautious about getting excited  because of the miscarriage, and because of my friend telling me about her stillbirth baby girl=( WAY SAD:(

Because I am 36, we ran the preliminary blood test to check for Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida and related disorders;  chances of having a baby with such a disorder DOUBLE after age 35.  I should have those results next week.

Ultrasound is APRIL 27, @ 11:30...stay tuned!!!

  1. oooh how exciting! i loved hearing my baby's heartbeats. my dr said something funny one time as he was listening to the heartbeat, "well from this i can tell that it's a boy or a girl, so go ahead and start doing your shopping." haha. and then i heard him say it again another time when i was there. same joke twice. awesome.

  2. Yay! I am so excited for you. I can't wait to find out what you are having and I am so glad you heard the heartbeat. I almost bought a fetal heart monitor because I was so nervous about lil sophie. I hope everything continues to go well for you. Love ya!
