Appointment #2- We are having a baby!!!

We went to the doctor yesterday, a new office in Raleigh, recommended by our friend Jill. Jill went to medical school with one of the doctors in the practice and we are excited to go to someone who comes so highly recommended!

Our appointment was at 9am and we were there for about 2.5 hours. We met with Lane first, who did our "interview"... family history, blood type, etc.

Then we met with our nurse practitioner, Janice. LOVE HER! She talked with us about tests and plans and what we need to know. She said we passed with flying colors, we are both happy and healthy and will be great parents.

We had the 11 week exam and blood work. We also got to hear the heartbeat (168!), which Janice said is very strong and sounds like a healthy baby! They used a crazy microphone thing and it was amazing how clearly we could hear the heartbeat. Can you believe that at just 11.5 weeks into it- our baby has a 4 chamber heart that is pumping blood!?!

No pictures this time, just the Dopplar heart rate. We scheduled an appointment for Thursday, March 11th to find out if Peanut is a boy or a girl. Hard to believe how quickly this whole process is moving along!
