OMG! We had my 3 month appointment yesterday, and Brian and I got to hear our baby for the very first time! It was soooo neat! The heartbeat was 175bpm and very strong! The nurse told me to let her know when we find out the sex, because she is betting on a girl! I guess the Old Wives Tale is that a fast heartbeat (above 140) means your having a girl...so, I guess we'll just have to wait and see! The nurse was narrating every sound for us, and I had my phone in my pocket and the doppler picked up my phone ringing before it actually rang...it was really funny, cause we were listening so intently "The slow heartbeat is yours...the fast heartbeat is baby's, the scratchy sound is baby moving around......ummmmmmmm......and that is baby calling Tokyo!" I didn't get the joke until I heard my phone actually ring...so it was pretty funny! (Had to be there!) Brian just kept talking about how amazing it was...it was really sweet. To tell the truth I was just relieved to hear anything, I guess that's the worry-wart in me!
Our next appointment is January 14th, they will be taking my blood to be testing for birth defects like downs-syndrome and 4 other things that I can't remember...not too exciting, but maybe they will let me hear the baby again, I LOVED that! :)
