14 weeks and 4 days

I had another appointment today. Nothing exciting happened. We did get to hear the heartbeat again. Well Micah heard it for the first time since he wasn't able to make it to the last time. I was nervous for the past couple of days that we wouldn't hear the heart beat, but it only took a few seconds for the doctor to find it. She said it was beating normally, ranging in the 150's. For the moment, my nerves are calm.

Before the doctor came in, one of the nurses in the practice came in and talked with us about all the details about being pregnant. Most of it we already knew. I think that we were suppose to have the meeting when we first found out when we were pregnant. She talked about morning sickness and genetic testing that takes place in the first trimester. (I felt like the entire meeting was a little waste of time, but it is what it is).

My next appointment is at the end of July, I'll be a 19 weeks. I'm going to schedule the 'big' ultrasound for the same week since Micah will be out of town for all of August. There is a chance the doctors won't be able to see everything they need to see and I'll have to come back, but I at least want to try and find out what the sex is before Micah heads to Beijing.
