Everything looks GREAT!!! Babe was beating at 136BPM, normal is between 100 & 140. Also, the growth has been AMAZING and the baby is measuring in at 9.1 weeks, which is a little AHEAD, that's a first for me, as I'm 8.4wks today. My next Ultrasound will be on October 12th, when I do the Nuchal Translucency . It's much more accurate than the 16week AFP test, that gave us a big scare with Ryan after coming back with a false positive. I wasn't going through that again, so this time will have one Ultrasound and two blood draws at 12 and 16 weeks.

I had my midwife app't - actually she did a 2 hour home visit here that went wonderful I got tons of information and fell in love with her - Ryan was acting like a little monkey, so my next visit with her will be when he's in pre-school, lol. We went over my history and signed some papers - I'm glad I don't have to return to OB care! I see her again in 4 weeks, and have another U/S on Friday. We also booked a hospital tour, since I have my choice of two hospitals - one within walking distance but I have never seen their L&D area - just the ER and Peds where Kevin was last December, lol.

Ever since the move over the weekend I've been spotting, so I paged my Midwife and she called in an Ultrasound for me. The baby was measuring right at 7.4 weeks - but the heartbeat is a little slower than what the Midwife would like to see, so I am repeating the Ultrasound next Friday to double check everything. For now, there's no lifting and I should be resting and laying down as much as possible - there goes much needed unpacking, lol - I wonder if the boxes will unload themselves!
