Doctor's appointment at 12 weeks 6 days

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we just had our 12 week appointment. It was really fun because we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. This time we got to hear it with the doppler, so it was over the tummy instead of the "other" way. I will have to say that both Ryan and I got a little nervous when the nurse couldn't find it right away, but we were both calmed down quite quickly when she found it and said that the baby had a strong, healthy, heartbeat of 178. The nurse also told us that at this stage in the pregnancy it is a little harder to find simply because the baby is still really small, and that it would get easier to find as the baby gets bigger.

I'm really excited as well because we only have two more months until we get our next ultrasound. And as long as the baby is cooperative we will get to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl. And yes, we plan on finding out. We want to start calling the baby by name, and decorating the nursery to meet either a boy or a girl.

Our next appointment is May 23rd, so I'm sure that I will write again then. If not sooner. Love you all.

Vanessa, Ryan, and their little one

Congratulations! I know you are both very relieved. I can't wait to keep up on your progress! Love you both (and "the peanut")
