Update from the Doctor

We went to the doctor this morning for another viability ultrasound.  That word, viability, is scary sounding to me.  Anyway, everything looked great.  The gummy bear was flailing its arms and legs in fury.  It reminded us of Kung Fu Panda. 

We did get to hear the heartbeat!!!  It was 176 bpm which the doc said is PERFECT!  Makes me happy to know that our baby is "perfect".  :)

We go back to this doctor on the 19th for a "new OB" appointment.  I am not really sure what that is all about so I guess I will just have to wait and see.  Between now and that appointment we are being sent to meet with a high risk specialist in Norfolk.  There is not anything wrong with the baby now, but the doctor worries that with me being borderline diabetic and overweight there may be a problem later in the pregnancy.  We are go to the specialist simply to get our foot in the door and become an established patient.  This way if we do require the extra care a few months down the road we will be able to get right in.  Based on what the doctor told us this morning, he is mainly concerned with gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.  I hope we face neither.

Here is a blury pic of the gummy bear....
