My appointment was originally supposed to be at 10:30 in the morning but that got pushed back until 130 so all of us ended up going to this appointment. Just slightly embarrassing to be parading 2 kids and a husband in when I was about to have a pap smear.haha.
I got weighed and weight at 9 weeks 104.4lbs. Not too shabby since 2 weeks ago I was 104.2. I'm about 2lbs lighter than I was with Connor at this point and dead on with Emma's. Blood pressure perfect, like always.
Pap smear came first. I guess I immediately started bleeding a bit when he started because my doctor said "you're going to spot a bit after this since it looks like I got things all stirred up". Ugh I hate that, especially since I hadn't spotted at all this entire time. It seems to be about gone today though so it was just about a 24hr thing. Anyway, he also went ahead and took a culture to see what the heck was going on with all these yeast infections.
Then, baby time! He found him/her right away and I immediately saw the little heart beating away. The doctor said he looks perfect and the baby kept moving it's little arms and legs around. I loved it! I'm measuring a bit small (9w 3d and was measuring 8w 5d) but he said that was perfect and wasn't going to change my due date at all. Since the heart seemed to be beating so well (around 160 bpm) I'm not concerned at his being a bit smaller. I think he'll catch up within the next few weeks or so.
Next appointment is set for January 5th. I get another ultrasound and there's a good chance we might know if it's a boy or girl. I'm feeling a bit more confident about baby #3 now.
