I am so happy to say that everything went well at my appointment today. The midwife I met with went over everything again with me, just in case I'd forgotten anything since May. She examined me and said I was measuring "exactly right" for 10 weeks. She told me it was a little early to definitely hear a heartbeat, which I knew. I also know that I am chunky and my fat would get in the way of the Doppler. But Peanut's heartbeat came through nice and clear, anyway! I laughed with relief and thanked God for being good.
They took urine and blood samples and gave me a pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. All adults should get a booster if you come into contact with kids. The shot you got as a child wears off over time.
So, Jared and I will go for an ultrasound in about two weeks, and my next appointment with the Birth Center will be in four weeks. I am so relieved that things are going well so far!
