Found the hb

Today was my OB appt. 182 pounds BP was 188/33 and baby's hb was 166. Yay. I was so excited to hear it. I am going tomorrow to take the maternity 21 blood test. It's for testing to find genetic abnormalities. It will be two weeks before results are back. But Thursday is the nt scan that will I hope be reassuring. 

And tonight I tried my Doppler and found the hb. It was higher then I expected. Half way between my belly button and pelvic bone. It was super quiet but easily identifiable. I also had to be right on to hear it. Either way I know it's possible now. Such a happy day. 

YEAH!!

I finally heard the HB on my doppler at home. Surprisingly it didn't take me too long to find, and its still really quiet. But it was there. Its such a relief to be able to hear the jelly bean anytime I want.

The display on it is a little weird. I am not sure I can trust the readout as to what the HB is registering at. But thats ok, I am just happy to hear it.
