19 Weeks & Counting!

Wow, we're almost halfway there!!! We only have a couple more weeks until our ultrasound, too! (15 days after today to be exact!)

Nothing is new. I'm feeling pretty good, my back is better, and I'm able to get some sleep finally. I went on a sternwheeler ride with the church last night (AND I didn't get sick either!) and my stomach started cramping where the baby is so I just had to worry a little about that.

So, I got home and decided that I needed to hear a good heartbeat just to make sure that everything is OK. I got out the doppler and had to search this time for a good heartbeat. I finally found it, but only lasted for about 10 seconds & it was gone. (It's staying around the 145bpm range.)

Jason came in & took control of the doppler and ended up "chasing" the baby all over the place. The heartbeat would get loud & then muted - I'm assuming the kid was doing somersaults in there. And then the heartbeat would be to the left of my belly button, then underneath it, and then about 5" below. My only guess was that the baby HATES that doppler & was trying to get away from it by moving to different locations. I could actually feel some pressure/pinching & would tell Jason to put the doppler in that spot - and sure enough, the baby was there. S/he must've been mad at me for pestering & decided to kick me as a payback.

We both thought the whole scenario was too funny and thought you might too.

I think the baby shower will be October 18th @ 2pm for those who want to know early. November & December will be so busy that October seemed like the best time for it. Plus, the weather will hopefully not be too bad either! Knowing my luck? It'll snow in October! LOL

Keep praying for us & I'll post next week!
