We had our 2nd OB appointment today and everything went great! We got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler which was neat, a strong 160 bpm. I have lost 2 pounds due to my extreme nausea and my mouth tastes like metal all the time...gross. She said both things were normal.
I really love my new doctor. She has a very calm and happy presence, which will be perfect for when I deliver.
Rowan loves to ask what "happy face" is doing and to kiss my belly before he takes a nap. I hope he keeps this sweetness up when the baby actually arrives.
We decided to do the First Trimester Screening test which is a blood test and ultrasound. I was never offered this test with Rowan so I didn't know about it. I was really hesitant to do it as it's not a yes or no test buy a chances test. It mostly tests for Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18. Our insurance covers all of it, so after discussing it in more detail with my doctor I decided to do it. I do like that I get to have another ultrasound at 13 weeks as well!
We also scheduled our big 20 week ultrasound today. It will be October 28th...so far away! I'm pretty sure it's another boy, but everyone else thinks it's a girl. I just can't imagine having a girl, so that's probably why I think it's a boy :)
