Not too much to report. It seems I have graduated from having weekly ultrasounds to now having the Doppler which is not near as much fun. My OB put the Doppler on my belly and then we heard the most wonderful sound in the world, a strong heartbeat of 178 bpm. I was a little leery of the Doppler so I started to ask my OB questions like, "how do you know that is the baby's heartbeat and not mine?". My OB went over how to use the Doppler and how to make sure I am not hearing my own heartbeat which by the way is not 178 bpm, but more like 60-70 bpm. I guess that is pretty obvious....LOL I went ahead and rented a Doppler so Adam and I can hear the heartbeat whenever we start to feel a little anxious. I am still waiting on it to get here. I hope to have it by the end of the week. It's a fancier model so we will be able to record the heartbeat on to a CD. My next OB appointment is not for 4 weeks, May 19th. I hope I can make it that long.
I am finally ready to give up what I consider my fertility security blanket, the ovulation predictor monitor. I have a dear friend loan me hers for almost 2 years. Today I am mailing it back to her. This is a big step for me. I am starting to realize this pregnancy could be real.
