Yesterday was our first official appointment with our Mid-wife. After a lot of paper work and a lot more waiting-we finally were lead to the back. Our mid-wife (CNM) was really nice. I was pleased to see that she wasn't a complete tie-dye wearing hippie. She was nice, well informed and was very relaxed about the whole process (not at all fussy). She reminded me to use common sense and that pregnancy isn't a disease but a condition to be mindful of. Renee also scheduled us for an ultrasound! So we got to see the baby (or at least the out line of it) and saw/heard it's heart beat for the first time! COMPLETELY AMAZING! Justin was couning the heartbeat--141 bpm--very strong.
After the physical exam, we were given a March 18th due date. But after the ultrasound they told us March 30. But in looking at the heartbeat and reading information that the ultrasounds generally measure small...we are still thinking my initial dates were right. So splitting the difference would mean that the baby is right about 7 1/2- 8 weeks along...which makes it a Jamaican Baby =)
***here are the ultrasound pics--I know they are hard to read...but you get the point!
much love,
Justin and Robin
