Well, for the last several days I have had a fairly good backache. I know this can be completely normal...in my head. I have also had some intermittent cramping. Again, something I know can be completely normal. However, I don't know if it was the fact that we started sharing the news with our friends and family, or the holidays, or both, but I got terribly nervous that something was wrong. So, I called the doctor this morning and asked if they could get me in for a doppler just for my peace of mind. They could, and thankfully, my doctor found the strong, healthy heartbeat within probably a minute of searching (okay, so it felt like an eternity, but who's counting!). She didn't measure it, but she said it sounded like it was somewhere in the 140s (normal is 120-160 at this point). So, I am breathing a deep sigh of relief tonight.
We'll have our next appt on Jan. 12th now, since we don't really need to keep the one on the 6th now. I think at that point she really is going to make me go to a once a month schedule, and I am truly dreading that. I can't wait until I can actually feel the baby moving around. Hopefully that will help me to not worry...oh who am I kidding?!
