I had an appointment with my regular Ob today. I had the kids with me this time. I was hoping a heartbeat would be found swiftly. That was not the case. She had trouble finding it. She found mine. That is exactly how is started with Beckett. In my head, I was thinking...OK I will have to call Cory to come and take the kids while they do an ultrasound to try and find the heart beat. It seemed like forever until she found the steady beat at 147. Panic almost set in...having the kids there I think saved me from bursting out in premature tears.

I had a great visit with my doctor. She reiterated that we can do an amnio at 36 weeks and decide delivery from there. That puts me at November 13th. She reassured me to call her immediately with questions or concerns. She looked me right in the eye and said I can not read minds. I can only become a better doctor if you tell me what you need or are feeling. I felt like she really and truly meant it. I think I have a great team behind us. That is reassuring.

So the next date to look forward to is July 9th at 8am. I will have a full anatomy in-depth ultrasound (not a biophysical). The biophysical ultrasounds begin at week 30. Right now I am at week 16 and 4 days.

I can't believe I forgot to ask for my ultrasound pictures today. I also walked out of the office without making the next appointment! I guess I was so relieved to hear that heart beat...nothing else mattered!

The Klinnert family is headed to the east (St. Michael) for our annual family vacation on Wednesday night. We are really looking forward to spending that time together. We don't have too many things planned except for MOA and possibly the zoo. Otherwise, it is pool and beach time!
