2nd Doctor's Visit!

Trevor went with me to the doctor's appointment today, but my doctor was out delivering a baby. It ended up being fine though, we saw a lovely midwife who was awesome! I've gained 4 pounds, which I blame entirely on the fact that I now am eating 6 smallish meals a day and never skipping a meal, unlike before I got pregnant where I ate fairly sporadically. Anyway, the midwife said 4 pounds was good. Yay!

The most important thing was that we got to hear the baby's heartbeat! We weren't sure if we'd be able to because it's still a little early so it was extra exciting to hear the strong little pounding heart. I wanted to cry from happiness, but didn't want to move or shake and potentially mess up the sounds. Trevor is not so much the excited type, but I could tell he was really excited too. It was amazing and really made it seem real. I just kept thinking, "hey, there really is someone in there after all!" Makes all the nausea seem worth it now!

I've been talking to my little grandbaby a lot lately, especially since you heard the heart beat. So many people love this baby already and can't wait for it to be born. This is one lucky child!

We love all of you so much,

Mom
