Third Appointment

The begining of July I went to see the nurse practioner again for a check up and blood work and my mom was able to come with me. She hadn't heard the bab's heartbeat yet, so I wanted to make sure she could come and listen. Thankfully she didn't have to work that day. The very first thing Carol did was pull out the doppler and take a listen. She found the heartbeat right away and we could tell the baby was moving aroud and kicking by the sounds on the doppler. My mom got a little teary eyed :) The rate was running about 177 at that time I'm sure due to the gymnastics he/she was performing! Carol then pointed out that my uterus was growing nicely and felt like a cantelope! Haha! It was a great experience to have with mom!
