Heartbeat


I have not been feeling well over the past week, so I called my OB to make sure that my symptoms were normal. The nurse scheduled me to come in the next day (Friday) as she thought that the Doctor should evaluate me. I was not worried, but more annoyed at the symptoms that I was having. I scheduled the appointment right before lunch so that Greg would be able to come. He was unable to hear the heartbeat last time and really wanted to hear the baby.
Friday when I went in, Greg was running late and was not able to make it for the beginning of the appointment so he missed the heartbeat. The baby's heart was nice and strong at 155. When the nurse found out that Greg was on his way she promised to come back in after the doctor was done and do the heartbeat again so that "daddy" could hear his baby. Greg was so excited, but the nurse had trouble pining down the baby's heartbeat again as the baby decided to move all over my belly. She finally found it again though.
It turned out that the doctor thinks that my thyroid is acting up again. He sent me over to the hospital for blood work. I should find out soon if that is what is causing my problems. At least nothing is wrong with the baby. They said that the baby sounds nice and healthy. Only 3 1/2 weeks until we get to see it again and finally stop calling the baby "it." I can't wait!
