12 week appointment

We had our 12 week appointment today and Baby G is doing well! The doppler picked up the heartbeat fairly easily so no ultrasound today, but thats okay! It was great to hear their quick little heartbeat loud & clear. Our midwife, Mandy, said the heart rate was right around 160.

The wives tale is:
above 140 bpm = girl
below 140 bpm = boy

..so we will see! We will be excited and happy either way.

My symptoms seem to be fading, so I'm feeling more and more like myself. My appetite is coming back around which I'm excited about. I even ate a salad after the appointment! I think that makes for salad #2 in the past month or so. I'm still dragging a little during the day but nothing like the exhaustion I was experiencing before. Even though I read that symptoms will typically fade around this time, it still set off some nervousness for me. Hearing the heart beat was exactly what I needed to remind me that all is well.

We have our next appointment set for September 25th. We will have the growth & anatomy ultrasound...also known as Baby G's big gender reveal! I can't wait. Dylan's deployment window begins the next day so fingers crossed he's still here & that we get to find out together.

On our way to the appointment! Dylan's sporting his goof smile..
