15-week OB Appointment... Heard that beautiful heartbeat again!

After a lovely lunch with my sweet friend S. (who is lending me maternity clothes -- thank you, S.!!), I scurried to Kennestone for my 15-week OB appointment. After the usual unpleasant poking and prodding, the doctor pulled out the Doppler. I don't even remember being nervous this time, although if I wasn't, I should have been!

The doctor found it immediately... that beautiful, precious "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" as though horses were galloping inside my womb. The doctor momentarily picked up my own heartbeat (so slow by contrast!) then found the baby's again and lingered on it long enough to bring a huge smile to my face.

I can't believe this: At 15 weeks, my baby is STILL ALIVE!!!!!!! It just seems too amazing to be true!!

After my appointment, I made my weekly trips to Whole Foods Market and the farm where I buy our grass-fed milk and eggs. Susan, the farmer's wife, knows a little about our history and she asked me how the pregnancy was going. I mentioned that I had started feeling tiny, subtle, fluttery feelings and couldn't wait to really feel the baby. She said that that very likely is the baby! I had thought it might be... it doesn't happen every day, and usually starts about ten minutes after I drink some milk or juice. Can you imagine?? I could actually be feeling my BABY moving already??!
