14 week Checkup & Heartbeat Scan

Today was our 14 week checkup! Just a quick one (well, the waiting time of 40 mins wasn't) involving another heartbeat scan. Matt was able to come, so I was psyched!

The midwife scanned it around my belly for a few seconds trying to pick up the beat and there it was again! Beating strong and fast. Then all of a sudden there was a loud noise and she says, "Oh! Looks like we've got a kicker here!" Matt and I thought that was so funny we were both grinning...

We made our next appointment for June 10th and we will be doing another quick checkup plus getting the "Anatomy Scan" ultrasound that will tell us (hopefully) whether it is a girl or a boy. They will measure the limbs and things as well.

We will keep you updated!

A little kicker, huh? Hee hee I'll bet it's a boy--a football player, to be exact! Glad all is well :-)

Love, Mom
