Tomorrow we will reach 16 weeks, or 4 months, in the pregnancy. I will have my monthly appointment with Dr. Patel. But I just couldn't wait to hear Bud's heartbeat.
In fact, I still have my heartbeat doppler from when I was pregnant with Andrea. I have been so anxious to check on Bud that I've been trying to check the heartbeat, with my home doppler, since week 12. I hadn't heard anything yet, but I wasn't really worried, because I couldn't hear anything until about 16 and a half weeks with Andrea. Also, I'm 90% sure I've already felt the occasional flutter/twitch for a week or so now.
But tonight, my persistence paid off. Believe me, it was really awkward trying to use the gel-covered doppler with one hand, hold the receiver on my knee, and the digital camera in my other hand! So, the video's not high quality, but I managed to get Bud's heartbeat so you could all hear it for the first time with me! The video is only a few seconds long, because you can hear Bud whoosh away soon after I capture the strongest heartbeat. But who can blame the poor little thing? I really had to jam the doppler into my stomach to find Bud! Bud's probably saying, "Geez, Mom, give me a break!"
Anyway, enjoy . . . :))

I am definitely picking up on some blue vives going on here.....it's a boy!! That's my prediction and I'm sticking with it. Gram G.
That's so cool Julie. My GP doesn't even have a doppler...how do you have one??? I don't get to hear the heartbeat until I start seeing my OB...I was just preggo it seems and yet I forget when I do so many little things already...like when I first see my OB,etc.
So 150's...that's boyish heartrate readings no?
Okay back to report cards...
