Today was our second appointment with our midwife (who I love more and more every time I talk to her). Everything is looking good, and we scheduled our 20 week ultrasound for August 16th. No complications arising as of yet, although I have had a few headaches I thought were going to split my head wide open. Perfectly normal, as I have been told. Pregnancy means hormones floating in your body that can lead to headaches. I need to drink more water.
I laid back on the bed, and she lubed up the probe to hear the baby's heart beat. This child is difficult to find! And he or she kicked at the probe pushing on my abdomen. Our midwife says that from the sounds and the difficulty of finding baby's heartbeat (in the 150 to 160 range), means I most likely have an anterior placenta placement. No big risks, but I may not feel the baby moving as early as other mothers. But we'll know more after the 20 week ultrasound about the exact placement.
Either way, I love hearing that little heartbeat whooshing on the monitor. And looking at Patrick while we listen, there is no greater joy, knowing this is the life created from ourselves. I cannot praise and thank God enough for answered prayers, in this great gift to Patrick and myself.
Mommy and daddy love you Baby Cakes.
