Doctor's Visit

I went in on Tuesday for a doctors visit. Since this wasn't the first appointment, it was very short, and the only real purpose was get the baby's heart rate. With that purpose, out came the doppler. We found the heartbeat in the first few seconds, but then I heard this really loud noise and the heartbeat was gone. My doctor started to look for it again, and we kept hearing these really loud noises about every six to seven seconds. After about eight of these, the doctor looked at me and told me that those loud crashing sounds were the baby moving around inside of me. He continued to look, but after a few more minutes of constant movement, he gave up and told me that the heartbeat was obviously strong and that the baby was very active. Great - just what I wanted to hear when I'm tired just being pregnant.

How is it July?

It seems that the last months are a complete blur. Looking at my last post, I realized life has changed pretty dramatically. First off, in March I transferred from doing reporting for the finance department to working with the merchandising department. Once making that move, I was there for about a month and a half before I got offered a different job within the company. The best part? This job comes with the title of Statistician. I feel like I'm finally able to use my degree, which is great.

Other exciting changes? Well, we're expecting a baby in January! Exciting, but also the reason that I haven't done a single thing other than wake up and drag myself to work for the past two and a half months. Only in the past week or two have I really started to feel better, but I do. A sure sign? Probably when I voluntarily did the laundry after 7:30 pm.
