we visited the doctor today for the third time.
my previous pattern had been to be prepared with lots of good questions, but once i heard or saw any bit of baby i lost my mind in day dreams and glow. today, anticipating the baby inspired amnesia, i wrote down all my questions. i am so glad i did, because as i had done previously once we heard wiggly's heart beat my mind went blank as i listened to the little thump thump. wiggly had a heart beat of 140, and the doctor informed us that 120 - 160 is considered 'normal' and is what they want to see. as we were right in the middle of that range everyone was pleased.
our questions were answered. exercise is still good for me, just don't over do it, get too hot, or get my heartbeat up too high. i am allowed to lay on my back, and stomach as long as either position is comfortable. i don't need to worry about smushing wiggly, or wiggly smushing me. we also got a good perspective on our decision not to find out the sex of the baby. at this point we're still settled on having it be a surprise.
so far, so good...
