11 week appt today

Hi, so i am exactly 11 weeks today and had another appt. following my successful u/s at 8 wks. The dr. tried to use the doppler to find the baby's heartbeat and after a lot of trying, she couldn't find it... of course i started freaking out (my mc was in jan. at 8 wks). The u/s tech had left for the day, but my dr. was so awesome and said she'd do the u/s herself so i wouldn't leave my appt worrying. So long story short, she was able to do an abdominal u/s and find the heartbeat! she wasn't sure how to count the bpm (she doesn't do u/s very often!), so she estimted that it was a high 190 bpm!! i am so relieved, and feeling really good!! dh and my 4 year wedding anniversary is this friday, so this is great news right before it. my next appt is in about 4 weeks, 2 days before dh and my trip to the bahamas- can't wait!

I'm so glad everything is going well, and you got the extra reassurance of the u/s!

Happy anniversary! :-)
