8:00 a.m. and we were off to another Midwife appointment. J and I opt for the early appointments, so that I don't lose too much time at work, and can still make it to all of the appointments. And besides, O-man is up with the birds everyday anyway, so why wait!
This appointment we talked with Jessica about our upcoming ultrasound. She reminded us of the processes, and said to tell the technician we would like to find out the sex of our little one. This is something J and I really want to do. We didn't find out with O-man, but this time around, we feel we can be more prepared if we know what our baby is. I think it'll allow us to begin even earlier the bond with our baby, telling him/her his/her name, and just getting to develop that infant bond way early.
Although J is a little sicker with this pregnancy, all is going well. Jessica did J's checkup, made sure everything was as it should be, and then, much to my delight, checked the baby's heartbeat, a healthy 150 bpm. I look forward to this every appointment, as I'm sure all fathers do, as it is one of the real ways (except for the beautiful growing belly), that we know there is a baby on the way. O-man loved it too, and when he heard the quick lil' beat, said "whoa-eee", and looked at me.
After the check up, we chatted a bit more with Jessica, and bid her adieu until next time.
Today is quite a busy one at work, and the weekend is sure to be busy too with J's cousin getting married. We're all looking forward to seeing her family again, and I look forward to writing to you all sometime next week!
Have a great weekend! And as always,
Trust birth,
B
