Heart Beat

Today we had a doctors appointment. They moved us up from the 28th to today because they will be in training on the 28th. We met with the nurse practitioner, Kelli Gosch. She found the babies heart beat right away, it is beating at a nice and quick 158. My thyroid blood work came back normal so that is a big relief! Our next appointment is August 21st, we should find out at that appointment the gender of the baby. Am I a boy or girl???

Ultrasound

Today we had our second doctors appointment and our first ultrasound of Baby Wiechman. Everything looked great and by the measurements, the due date of January 21st is right on. Of course knowing that Colton surprised us three weeks early, the doctor said to keep in mind that second babies tend to come just as early if not earlier.

All my blood work that they sent me for mostly came back good. My thyroid level was a little low so they are sending me back for more testing. And again, as with Colton, I am loosing weight instead of gaining (8 lbs. total). They are not concerned yet though since I did the same last time. It just seems that my bodies metabolism kicks into high gear when I am pregnant. Our next appointment is July 28th, at that time we will hear the heart beat and should have the second round of thyroid results.
