We got to the doctor's office and they got us in. Our doctor came straight into the room and the first thing she did was hug me. We talked about Kailee for a little bit and I was able to thank her for coming back after her shift to deliver Kailee. (This was done with tears on my part, and I couldn't get the whole thing out.) She decided to listen for the heartbeat first thing to put my mind at ease. It took a little bit because our little one is such a mover and a shaker!!!! She would find him/her and then it would be gone! She got him/her cornered, and we were able to listen for awhile to the heartbeat of 160.
We discussed the upcoming anatomy ultrasound. I asked if she could do one earlier to check amniotic fluid. We have been scheduled at 19 weeks to get this done, and then will go back around 22 weeks for them to measure the chambers of the heart.
Overall, it was a very good appointment. I have really started to feel the baby moving. Yesterday was the first day of consistent movement and not just flutters. The baby moved from about 9pm-12am or so last night. I just laid there and enjoyed that feeling.
I think...... I THINK..... we just might get to bring home a baby this time.........
