Poor Corey didn't get to go with me to my OB appointment this morning because he had a meeting, but I told him it would be fine because they were only drawing blood anyway. When I got there though, Dr. Bell whipped out a little hand-held device and let me hear the baby's heartbeat. It was at a rate somewhere in the 140s, which Dr. Bell said was perfect. We could also hear little blips, which she explained were kicks. She told me not to expect to feel any kicking until closer to the 20th week, so I'm going to quit obsessing about that.
We go back on October 17th to do the in-depth sonagram and will hopefully find out the gender of the baby that day! If the baby cooperates (everyone keeps warning me about uncooperative babies that thwart your hopes of determining gender) we will make the announcement on the blog for you all to see.
