Houston, we have a heartbeat...

Yesterday Josh and I went to the Charleston Birth Place for our 12 week appointment. We watched a video about emotions in pregnancy, and guess what? Pregnant women have mood swings...ya don't say! (Like Mom says, I have an excuse now!) I really actually haven't had too many mood swings, at least I don't think I have.

I've actually been really blessed that things haven't been too hard for me during this pregnancy, very little sickness, I'm tired more than anything really. I did start getting headaches recently, so I did address this with the midwife, and she gave me some ideas on how to deal with them.

After we talked with the midwife for a bit, went over test results (all good). They did mention that my iron was bit low, and for a fun fact of the day....strawberries are a good form of natural iron, and we all know that strawberry season is quickly approaching, this made me happy!!

We then went in the exam room, where Judy listened, using the doppler for the heartbeat. It took a few minutes, (well it felt like a few minutes at least). There was a bunch of sound, and then, a tiny, fast heartbeat. We were happy. Mr. J says it sounded like a little factory in there. Judy says that we're mearsuring in the 160s, and that is good and normal.

We go back again in 4 weeks, and then after that in 4 weeks (when we'll get an ultrasound!!).

We are happy, excited, anxious, and thankful....very, very thankful!
