We had our 12 week visit today. It was very fast compared to the last time I went in. I think I was all done in just over thirty minutes! I went back and they checked my weight ( gained 4 pounds....but I am ok with that) and took my blood pressure. Then they took me back to the room to see the doctor. The doctor came in and we talked a little about genetic testing and then he laid me down on the table to get the hearbeat. I had expected for him to find the heartbeat right away. About a minute went by and he hadn't found the heartbeat yet. So of course I start freaking out. He kept hearing a heartbeat but it wasn't the babies it was mine. He said my heart was racing so loudly he couldn't hear the babies. So I tried to calm down. At one point we heard the babies heart beat and mine beating at the same time. It was crazy sounding. He felt a round a little on my belly and tried to get the babies heart beat separated from mine and finally we heard it! He said it was around 160 bpm, which is completely normal. After about five minutes of waiting it was so great to hear that sound of galloping horses I had been to hear. Andrew and I are going to talk about the genetic testing tonight and decide what we are going to do. The doctor wants me to go in sometime next week if I am going to do it. I will let you know what we decide.
