I had an appointment this morning with my midwife.  I haven’t gained any weight!  (In my case, that’s a good thing.)  I had a minor few moments of concern though because the midwife couldn’t hear the baby’s heartbeat.  She said, “oh, come on baby” in a concerned voice, then promptly said, “oh, don’t worry, we’ll find it.”  Well, we ended up doing a sonogram because the Doppler just wasn’t finding the heartbeat.  Then with the sonogram, baby wasn’t moving, wasn’t moving, and still wasn’t moving.  FINALLY, babe made a little jump and started moving around.  Gave his/her momma a fright.  The midwife said, “well, that’s strange, I’ve never seen a baby sleeping with “his” legs straight out like that.”  But the baby looks great, bumping and thumping around just fine…after we woke him/her up.  Apparently, baby was just chillin’ and floatin’.  Kind of funny.  My midwife said that at 16 weeks it won’t be as difficult to hear the heartbeat because the baby will be much bigger and higher in my abdomen, so we shouldn’t need to do another sonogram until the 20th week when I go see a perinatologist to make sure all of baby’s parts are in order and functioning properly.  Thus far, baby looks great and altogether normal on the two sonograms I’ve had so far though.
