We’ve definitely got our hands full.

So quick midwife appointment today, since there isn’t much to talk about at 15+ weeks, really.  It’s a lovely calm part of pregnancy even for high-riskers like me.

Well, normally it would be.  Our offspring, though, are all about the excitement.

We hadn’t heard a heartbeat yet because it was early-ish last time to hear it, so we skipped what would likely be an exercise in frustration.  So today was the big day (well, big-ish since I’ve been feeling the little darling on and off for the last week or so so I was pretty sure that all was well in there).  Anyway, Jay and Sadie came along since it was a milestone sort of appointment and the nurse brings the doppler in and we get ourselves all excited and...nothing.

Silence.

So the midwife tries, and still nothing.

This is one way to get yourself an extra ultrasound.  We were shipped downstairs where we were fit into the schedule in incredibly prompt and friendly fashion.  And baby was promptly taught an important lesson: you can hide from the doppler, but the ultrasound folks will find you every time.  Heh.

And I thought this pregnancy might be less drama-prone than the last one.  LOL!  Silly me.

It was also awesome timing in that I’m measuring like four weeks ahead, so the quickie ultrasound set to rest my fears that there might be more than one in there.  Whew!

In other news, I’ve lost a couple of pounds, which is shocking, since it seems like all I do is eat.  3 pounds below pre-pregnancy weight at this point, and the lightest I’ve been since I had Sadie.  How cool is that?

1. Okay, your lil’ one just won the award for best actor in a womb!  Sheesh.  The DRAMA! 

   We ARE posting pictures, aren’t we?  So I can coo over your lil’ peanut, too? 

   Love and hugs

2. You know, I was in and out of there so fast I didn’t even get a picture.  I was so happy to see that heartbeat I didn’t even think about it.  Doh!  Silly babies make silly mommies, methinks.
