I had my first prenatal appointment with the doctor today. I had a hard time picking a doctor, but I am so glad that I went with the one I did, she seems like a wonderful doctor.
I was excited to meet her, but really to tell you the truth, I was a little more excited to be able to see some little snippets of our baby. Our little baby (whom I have been calling 'she' for now, it just feels right, but I have one month until we know for sure), anyway, she was so active. The poor doctor was having a hard time catching a heartbeat or even getting the measurements. It was so neat watching that little baby (and I mean little, only 6-7 cm), flipping backwards, frontwards, upside down, and sideways. She really wasn't going to hold still very long for us. Finally we were able to get a good heartbeat, at least enough for the machine to get an average 'beats per minute' and then we were also successful in catching a pretty good portrait. She may be active, but it looks like she knows when we mean business. :)
