My prenatal appointment went great this morning! I’m at 14 weeks now, and the doctor said that the first trimester officially ended at around 13.5 weeks. Now that I’m second trimester the chances of miscarriage are less than 1%. YAY!
It was a pretty quick appointment- and the highlight was using the Doppler on my abdomen to find baby J’s heartbeat! It took what felt like FOREVER for the doctor to find it. It probably took him all of 20 seconds but to me it felt like 20 minutes. Once he found it, though, it was loud and clear. Baby J’s heart rate is 153 bpm now, which is perfect. He’s still really low in my abdomen (and the size of a lemon!), but will pop up and out any day now. My bladder is looking forward to that day.
My next appointment is scheduled for November 14th- and that’s the day we’ll do an ultrasound to find out the gender. I can’t wait!!!
-The doctor seemed surprised I didn’t have an inkling of what the gender was already- but I honestly have no idea!!! I should have told him that Baby J’s aunt is certain it’s a girl. :-)
