It's been just over a week since we had our first OB appointment. It was about the quickest we've ever gotten in and out of there - ever! The appointment was at 3:45, we were done and out of there by 4:05 or so. Nice.
Going in, I was hoping to hear the baby's heartbeat but I knew that it might have been a little bit early to be able to do that. My doctor told me that before he got the Doppler and not to worry if we didn't find it that day. He put the gel on my belly, set down the microphone (is that what it's called?) and boom! Right there was the heartbeat...at 174 beats/minute. This is a great heartrate, especially so early. What he told us that means is that now instead of having a 20% chance of miscarrying, I now have just a 5% chance. I like them odds! I'm totally at ease. My due date is October 19.
This Saturday is my due date with Jacob. Dad was up here last weekend helping us pick out a couple of vines to plant on Saturday. We got two Clamatis vines. They are beautiful. I'll post a picture once they are planted and the pergola on the patio is up (we're going to train them to go up and over the pergola.) Mom comes up tomorrow afternoon to be here for the planting.
My morning sickness is pretty much gone. Now I have to deal with night sickness. At least I get to make it through the day feeling pretty good and then start feeling icky around dinner/bed time.
I had a program last night at school. Not only did we have to pull out five of the lunch tables to accomodate people, but that wasn't enough! We still had people standing. Plus, my kids did so well, they got a standing ovation. I've never had that happen before! What a cool thing! One more major program to pull off this year and then a recorder showcase in June. That one will be easy because the kids will just play up to the song they've finished with and sit down. Nice and easy. This year I should also have a duet or two also.
More later. I hope to start posting more once I'm done with my first trimester and have a bit more energy. Just a couple more weeks! I'm at 11 weeks right now. :-)
