We had our doctor's appointment on Friday and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time!!!! It was AWESOME! When my doc pulled the Doppler out she was telling me that it can take a few seconds to find the heartbeat, and not to freak out, but as soon as she set it on my abdomen we heard it right away!!! I was so shocked she found it so fast...the baby must have wanted to be in the exact right spot for mommy and daddy to hear it!:) She said that it sounds strong and exactly how she wants it to sound at this point. It started out in the high 150's and then was in the 160's the rest of the time. So, I don't know what to think of that? Is that high? Is it low? I am just glad that the baby is strong and healthy!:)
Other than that I am just so thankful that I am starting to feel like myself again. I am trying to enjoy each day that I feel good and knowing that the baby is doing great just makes it that much better!:) I love you my little pumpkin...hearing your little heart was the best gift of all this Easter!:)

your baby's the size of a lemon!
At week 14, your baby is 3.4 inches and 1.5 ounces, he's almost doubled in weight since last week and keeps on growing.
your baby at 14 weeks
- He's probably sucking his thumb and wiggling his toes in there!
- His kidneys are making urine, and his liver and spleen are doing their jobs, too.
- And he's growing lanugo, a thin, peach-fuzz-like hair, all over his body -- it will help him keep warm!
How awesome it is to hear the beating heart of MY BABY'S baby!! I feel very blessed!
