14 Weeks!

June 22, 2012

This week, baby is the size of an apple!

Phil came with me for my monthly appointment and got to meet Dr. Jean Reinhold for the first time. After weeks of hearing me rave about how much I loved my doctor, he quickly understood why. She is so laid back and cool, answers all my questions, keeps me at ease, and makes the visit to the doctor actually fun! In such an exciting time, it's nice to be able to feel confident in our doctor who will be bringing our first child into the world!

Later we found out that Dr. Reinhold is pretty popular! Not that we were surprised, but I have learned that a few of my other friends who have recently had babies also had them delivered by her. We've heard she's great, and that definitely makes me feel more comfortable. Now, let's hope she doesn't plan any December vacations!

and making me laugh as we wait for the doctor.  

At this visit, we were able to hear Baby Gibbs' fast little heartbeat with the Doppler machine for the first time! A strong 152 beats per minute. What a sweet sound! Phil can imitate the baby's heartbeat really well. It makes a rapid "Wooosh Wooosh Wooosh Wooosh" sound. I have gained about 5 pounds so far, feeling great, and everything is progressing just as it should!
