Third Doctor's Appointment

Being a mother is hard work. The worries that are built in are exhausting. Morning, noon, and night are constant worries.

Today was our third doctor's appointment for the baby, of course, I was worried. It was just a regular routine...weight, blood pressure, questions and answers, measurements, and heartbeat. Everything checked out good.

We are still keeping an eye on the placenta previa; however, the doctor is very optimistic that it will correct itself. He said that when he pushed on my belly he could feel the uterus and it felt good and moving in the right direction. I am praying.

We also heard the heartbeat...beating at a rapid 150. He said that it was good, strong, and perfect. What a smile that brings to my face.

The doctor did say that at our next visit (April 16th) it would be a big one. We will get to find out the sex of our baby, check on the placenta previa, and see our Little Bit "in person" (4-D pictures). I just can't wait. I just hope that my worries are not as big these 4 weeks as they have been for the last 4 weeks.
