Doctor Visit #3

Yesterday we went to the doctor again. This visit was pretty short, basically just a check-up and asking if we wanted to do the optional testing. We opted not to because from what we read, the results aren't 100% accurate anyways and it's not like it would change anything even if we knew our baby may have down syndrome or something.

Other than that, we got to hear the heartbeat again, which was cool.  :)  Last time we heard it over towards the left side of my abdomen and it was around 170 beats/min. This time it was dead center and 150 beats/min. He said that as I get further along the heart rate will slow down and when Baby C is born it will probably be around 120-130.

The most exciting part of this doctor visit was making the appointment for our next visit - the much anticipated ultrasound! It's going to be the morning of Monday, May 17! I can't wait and neither can Matt. It feels like waiting for Christmas or your birthday when you're a little kid. I don't even know if I'll be able to sleep the night before I'll be so excited. I'll be about 22 weeks then, so hopefully we'll be able to get a clear view of whether it's a boy or a girl. So anyone who wants to take a guess, you've got 38 more days to do so!

I need to put up a 4 month pic soon...
