Well, I had my 12 week prenatal visit yesterday...Everything went very well. I saw my midwife, Mary...She was very happy for us! I gained 1 pound so far...We heard the baby's heartbeat...I got to feel the baby kicking on the doppler machine...It was a good visit! Mary & I were talking about if this baby was a girl, how Dan & I would have 2 boys & two girls as she was placing the doppler device on my belly - She got the heartbeat right away & then it seems that the baby moved away...Then we found it again & that's when I got to hear the heartbeat. Mary said that maybe it is a girl & she heard us talking & was like - "Look Mommy, it's me, I'm doing cartwheels in here!" :) Either way, we'll be very blessed with a new baby boy OR girl...Two other good points that the midwife brought up about the baby was that considering the amount of movement that was going on & the kicking action, that there most likely is no problem with regard to the spine because a baby with a problem would not be able to move around...Also, the baby's hearing is just developing at 12 weeks and since he/she moved away from the doppler right away, that's a good sign that everything is developing properly in that department...So, I felt that overall, my visit was very reassuring. My next visit is in four weeks on May 10th...so I'll post the next "Inside Update" at that time...
