It's STILL Alive!!
Well, we just got back from the OB appt and dinner (we met some of our best friends for dinner afterwards) and I just had to post! No, I did not cry and wail to get an ultrasound...Insurance companies don't accept "crying" as a medical reason to pay for an "unnecessary" ultrasound, and we just can't afford the extra cost we'd incur...but we did hear the heartbeat!! I swear, that is the most beautiful sound in the world. Dr. H (not my usual Dr. E, but Dr. H - the doc who is the "head doctor" of the practice) said I was right on the cusp of the time when they may or may not be able to hear the heartbeat by doppler, but he did assure me that we could definitely get an ultrasound if we weren't able to locate the heartbeat. Luckily, he found it and he said it sounded "perfect." He wasn't able to get an exact reading, but he said the readings he did get were about 155-160. Sounds good to me! I wish I had a recorder so I could have recorded that amazing little "chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a" sound, but oh well. I am just SO happy to have heard that little heartbeat. I'm definitely in love with this little human. And they found the baby in the exact spot where I've been having lots of stretching pains! Weird!! Anyway...I'm off now, but just had to share the happy report!!
