Quick update :)

So... I got in to be seen this morning - got to hear the baby's heartbeat with the doppler which was very cool!  Heart rate was in the 150s - perfectly normal.  Of course the baby dove when she was trying to get the reading so it was kind of hard to hear... but that is ok!  A big relief.  Also found out that anything that can irritate the cervix/that general area can cause spotting which made me feel better.


My favorite nurse midwife, Rita, saw me - she is really nice and calming.  She explained their philosophy is that we'll worry about the baby the rest of its life; if they can help reassure/calm us during this phase, they are happy to.

She called me back when I got to my desk at work and asked if I could come back for a RhoGAM shot since my blood type is 0 negative, we don't know Blake's, and I was having spotting (though 99% sure not from the baby - better safe than sorry!)  So I ran back and got a big shot in my rear.  I don't know when the last time is that I had a shot there!  It didn't hurt until after and is pretty sore now.  At least that is all done now. :)

So - I still don't quite understand why they have my due date at Jun 19 and I have it as Jun 14 - I always feel badly because the MA (usually cute Lisa) will say "oh, you're X # of weeks!" and I'll say "I don't know why you all keep saying that - I'm X + 1 weeks!" and then I apologize and explain I'm emotionally attached to Jun 14, and she'll say don't even worry - the baby will come when it comes.  I think I will ask Dr. Silver at my next appt to officially move it to Jun 14 so I'm not being ornery to his poor staff!

Have a great day! :)
