I have been trying since last night to post an update, but sheknows wouldn't let me post for some reason. Hopefully it will work this time.

I was at my doctor's office for 3 hours because he got called into surgery so it kinda threw them off schedule. Aside from the wait, everything went great. After all the routine questions and girlie exam, we finally got our U/S and saw our little bean with a strong heartbeat of 194bpm. I thought it was a little fast, but the tech didn't seem worried at all and I have since then read that it is completely normal (155-195bpm between 9 and 10 weeks) for how far along I am. Baby measured 9w5d and EDD is June 19th.

The tech got all worried about me asking me if I was ok when I started crying after we heard the heartbeat! It was cute. I told him I was perfectly fine that this was just a really emotional time for me and that it was just the release of all the stress of the past few weeks. I have been on a U/S table too many times when I have gotten bad news. At that point the nurse who was assisting started tearing up too!

All in all it was a very good appointment. So far so good ladies!

alright we are telling the world tomorrow. I will be 12 weeks. Well the not so close family members and friends who we only talk to once or twice a month. We are doing this via facebook/myspace. We have told our close friends and family and they have sworn not to tell.

So I haven't ever seen a pg announcement before on either site. So I'm asking ever so nicely for some help coming up with ideas.


We want something cute and easy to figure out but not simple. But we really don't want to focus on the "first" because he does consider the girls as his firsts. Really this is my 3rd and df first. Bloodwise anyway.

I'm at a loss .gaah.gif HELP ME!! lol

My 2nd appt. was yesterday. This was actually my first with my OB this time around, since I saw the NP at the first appt. back in October. The nurse had a hard time finding the HB on the doppler, so when she left to go get a stronger one, I lost it and started bawling. DH comforted me. She came back and found it rather quickly, 172bpm. She didn't tell me my weight or BP, so must have been ok, I didn't ask. hehehe
Dr. came in and of course he and my DH ahd to talk about how they did during huntins season :awesome Then we talked about ME and the BABY! We went over a few things and he pretty much talked us out of any genetic testing. Saying that unless we plan to go the whole way with getting an amnio, he didn't see any reason. Said that anything he needs to know with regards to delivery, he will see on the US. So that made us feel better.
Because of my age, 37, I am considered "high risk" to a certain extent, so instead of seeing him every other visit, until we get down to the 2 times a month and then weekly appts., I will see him every visit. That is fine by me. I don't much like the NP that I was assigned to.
I go back on December 21st. He said at that point we will schedule my "big" US to check on the baby, for between 18-20 weeks. We don't find out the gender, but it is always great to see the baby. DS#1 looked at the gender last time and said "girl" so we will see what he thinks this time. hehehe
We told the boys tonight. DS#1, my 8yo, started cheering, DS#2, my 6yo gave the response I expected from him "why do we have to have another baby?" hehehe So typical of him. But he was better later and hugged my belly. He just had a rough time when DD was born, as he is a mamas boy.
Announced to all our friends and family on facebook a few minutes ago and will call the rest of our family on Thanksgiving and tell them, if my mom doesn't before then!
