You just can't imagine how relieved I feel each time I hear the baby's heartbeat. There's just this constant fear that something could go wrong. I could be doing something wrong. The hour before my appointment is always so stressful for me. I can't help it, I'm a worry-wart.
Good news though, everything is still going well. Today Dr. Voss drew more blood to test my Iron and for antibodies, etc. I'll get the results next appointment. This time was mainly to do the routine female exams & draw more blood. Again, Chris came with me. I don't think he was too excited about the female exams, but toughed it out. I asked Dr. Voss if we could at least listen to the heartbeat today, and she said in her German accent "Yes, ov course. I vill do this every time I see you." We we were relieved. So I did get the external (over the belly) ultrasound. The picture is never as clear as the internal's, but we could still make out the basics. Head, legs & arms. Tummy and heartbeat too! Unfortunately she didn't take any pictures for us, so none to share. I couldn't help myself, so I also had to ask if we will be able to see the sex next visit (Nov 20). She said, "Yes ve vill try". "There are no guarantees, but ve vill try." So the countdown is on... 4 weeks to go....

I remember each of the OB visits, and the doctor looking for the heartbeat. my heart stopped more than once, until he found it.
welcome to parenthood, the worrying will never stop.

I'm glad to hear everything is well....I've been worried because I haven't heard from you. Are you really going to find out the sex next month? Love and miss you!
