Well, I know I said that I would only post once a week, and thus far it's been three posts already this week :-P (mostly just because it's been a big week!). We had our 12 week appointment yesterday - everything sounds great! We got to hear the heartbeat through a Doppler machine (basically a portable ultrasound that you can only hear through). Not only did we hear the heartbeat but we could hear him/her moving around like crazy! The nurse midwife asked which of us is a "whirling dervish" (umm hello? Me of course!) because this baby was moving all over the place - she kept having to reposition the machine to find the heartbeat again :) She said that the heart sounded great and our baby's activity was also a good thing. Praise God! Next appointment is in 4 weeks - right before we come home for the race!!
Please keep praying for a healthy baby - at our next appointment, we get a blood test called a "Quad Screen" that may give some markers for possible neurological problems in the baby (Down's syndrome, neural tube defects, etc). Praying that all of those will be normal!
Love you all!
