13 weeks!

Some of you may not know that I am pregnant! Our third baby will arrive in August. I just had my second OB appointment today. It went really well. The baby's heart rate was at 174. It was heavenly to hear it again.

I have been having a lot of anxiety with this pregnancy. I think that it is bringing back a lot of what we went through with Bennett and I am worried about the baby. I expressed this to my doctor today and he said that when he does the ultrasound he would measure the baby's limbs right away. I made him promise to talk a lot during the ultrasound...he was SO QUIET when he looked at Bennett.

When I got ready to leave I heard him talking to his secretary, asking her to schedule me for an extra half an hour for an ultrasound next month! :) I didn't expect him to do that and am so thankful. He isn't very good with talking about "feelings". You can tell it makes him uncomfortable, BUT I know that he cares a lot about his patients because he didn't have to do that for me. He said that he will measure the limbs and check the chest cavity and then in April he will do his full hour and a half long ultrasound.

So, March 8th and April 12th can't come soon enough! :)
