Dr. Visit!

Had a dr visit yesterday for the "usual" checkup....got weighed in (exciting ; ) , checked blood pressure, talked about flu shots, chatted.....everything looks good! We also got to hear the heartbeat! As soon as Dr.Hanauer put the Fetal Doppler to my belly we heard the "ba-boomp, ba-boomp!" Doesn't matter how many times you hear that...its amazing! She said that usually it takes a while to find the sound and hear it, but ours was right away! We all agreed that this baby is a good "follower of directions"...a teacher's dream ; ) With all the hustle and bustle of the work week and life, it was nice to stop and realize what amazing things are going on right now.
I then headed over to "Grandma Forie's" and saw her and "Aunt Jill"! Showed off the belly, as it gets nice and round! It was great to see them and I can't wait until I can swing by to say hello with a little one in "tow"! This baby is going to have alot of love surrounding him/her! We chatted about Baby Shower stuff (March 7,2009!) and had some yummy Panera bread and tea : )
Signed up for our Birthing class and Breastfeeding class (is that too much information!) at Winthrop for Feb and March. Have my 20 week check up in two weeks....that's when we can find out the sex of the baby...but sorry folks, we are waiting till the end for the big surprise! at least thats what we are planning on unless we change our minds ; )
