Now that I have my vacation blog entry out of the way, I can now post about how things are going with my pregnancy!
Over the past week at work, it was really, really busy. Probably the most busy I've been since I went to the Philippines. We are training a new group of Coaches on Quality, so there is a ton of prep work that I had to do before it started. Since I had the week before off, I didn't get time to prep like the rest of my team did.
The week was successful, and I was able to get through it without too much stress. Mostly, I was looking forward to Friday, which was my first official doctor's appointment.
One strange thing was that I hadn't gotten a confirmation phone call from the doctor's office like I normally do. I called around 11 AM and asked to confirm the time. They told me they didn't have me on the schedule at 4, but at 3. So I had to call Arthur and tell him to get ready. I left work a little early because I was so excited to get there.
I picked up Arthur at home (he had the day off) around 2:30. We drove to the office and had to wait for almost an hour. It was so busy! When we finally went in, the doctor completely calmed my fears by saying "You ready to hear a heartbeat today?!" All of my fears were washed away. He told me to get on the table and he had a medical student help him. I told Arthur to record it with my phone.
At first, the doctor could only get my heartbeat. Then, he found my baby's heartbeat. It was so fast, and strong! Arthur got up and came over by me and we held my phone by the speaker. I closed my eyes and just listened. It was really amazing. I made a little video so you can hear it:
The doctor said that the heartbeat was completely normal at 182 beats per minute. I was happy to hear that it was beating so strong. It really does feel real now. :)
How far along: 10 Weeks, 2 days
How much time left: 29 Weeks, 5 days
Top two symptoms: I had low energy today. Over the past two days my appetite has come back. Everything tastes good!
Favorite thing I ate today: Mango Peach Salsa from Costco. Steak. Hashbrowns. Oh my goodness, with my taste buds working again, everything tastes good.
Mood: My mood today was happy. I had a really relaxing day.
Worried about: Getting through this week before Christmas!
Excited for: My next doctor's appointment! 4 weeks away! January 11th!
