Sweet sounds
We had our first midwife appointment today. Well, we were supposed to. Hannah wrote us down for the 18th instead, but being flexible as midwives are, she just did an abbreviated appointment today. Hooray!
When I lay on the exam table for the heartbeat check, she mentioned that it might take a little longer than I'd like, just because it's still pretty early and stuff. But she smeared the gel on the doppler, put it on my lower abdomen, and thump-thump-thump immediately started coming out of the doppler speaker. How cool!!! Baby's heartrate was 160bpm, which is at the upper end of normal. Just perfect, since he's obviously an overachiever.
I go back in three weeks for a more detailed intake and for more info on proper nutritional choices, etc.
