Working on 22 weeks

Brian and I went to the doctor this morning for our monthly check up. Everything with baby is normal and strong. The heart beat was far more than just a whooshing sound, it was a very strong real heart beat ranging in the 140s.

Since Christmas I haven't been throwing up every day, in fact things have been great in that respect. I'm tired and I am experiencing heart burn, but everything else has been normal. There has been a strong pain in my right side every now and then which the doctor confirmed this morning is just a ligament stretching with my uterus. Fun. The baby is moving a lot which the doctor also was pleased about.

We have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning! Normally scheduling one so quickly is a sign that something is wrong, but in this case we just got lucky and were fit right in so that's very good.

I think it would be fun and interesting to bring Braeden to the ultrasound. I would like him to be able to see the baby move around like Brian and I have gotten to see. I think it will make him feel more a part of the experience.

So tomorrow we might have another ultrasound photo to share with you AND maybe even news on the gender pending the baby cooperates and shows that part of the anatomy. =o)
