Oct. Dr. appt.

I had my next doctors appt. yesterday. Everything seemed to go well. We were able to find the heartbeat on the doppler and it was reading at 167. I haven't gained any weight yet, which isn't of any concern. I'm sure it will all come soon enough. It did with Sawyer anyway. I go again next month for another appt. but, with this one we'll have an u/s first. Garrett is going to take the day off for this appt. We are hopefull to be able to tell what the gender is. Hopefully, the baby will be coroperative. Sawyer didn't have any trouble showing us what he was.

I am having more "good" days than bad. By that I mean, the morning sickness still likes to check in from time to time. At least it's not a daily thing anymore. I'm at 11wks. gestation so, one more week and I'm out of the first trimester. At that time the chances of miscarrage go down as well. Some people call it the "critical period". I have also read in some books that the chances of miscarrage go down as well after you hear the heartbeat. It was nice to hear it yesterday. It made me feel a lot better. It didn't bother me as much with Sawyer going month to month with dr. appts. This time I am very ready for another appt. by the time mine comes around. I think I worry more with this one because of everything that we've went through. But, so far, so good, onto the second trimester we go!
