November Check Up

Well, we just finished up our monthly round of Dr. Appointments! Wednesday night we had an appointment with our OB in Menomonee Falls. We took measurements of my belly and got to hear the heartbeat. To hear the heartbeat, the Dr has a handheld Doppler with a small wand that she places on my belly. As soon as I laid down and pulled my shirt up, the baby started kicking! We were hearing the heartbeat - **Whish-Whish-Whish- THUD!** The baby kicked the Doppler wand! We were all laughing because it happened about 3 times total! Sounds like we have a little stinker on our hands!
Yesterday morning we had our appointment at Children’s Hospital with the Blood Doctor. We got yet another ultrasound, but that is fine by me, I love them!!! The ultrasound tech made sure to take the leg measurements quickly incase our little one decided to go spread eagle on us and expose his/her parts! J The highlight of the ultrasound was watching the baby suck their thumb, then pull the thumb out and let out a big yawn!!! We could even see the tongue stick out while the baby was yawing, simply amazing!!!!! After the giant yawn, the baby stuck their thumb back in the mouth and rolled over on it’s side. It is hard to believe that all of that happened right before our eyes. When the ultrasound was done, we were told the heartbeat was 148, and that the baby is measuring at 1 lb 2 oz! Everything is going great, we couldn’t ask for it to go any better!
Pat and I are pretty sure we have the nursery figured out – FINALLY! J We have been clearing out the closet in there to make room for all the baby stuff we have been getting. Thank you to all of our friends and family for the support, we really appreciate it!

Have a great weekend!
