we checked in on baby m today at our doctor's appointment and all is going well. turns out the baby already has a sense of humor like brad's and likes to wiggle around just when you're trying to get him to be still! as the nurse was checking the baby's heartbeat, baby m decided to play chase inside mommy -- moving from one side to the other before we were finally able to hear the steady "whoosh-whoosh" we've grown to love. baby m's heart was kicking it at 146 beats per minute, well within the normal range.
the chase for the heartbeat wasn't that much of a surprise to mommy as she has been feeling the flutterings of baby m for a few days now. baby m apparently prefers the nightlife as just as kammy is ready to go to sleep, the baby kicks into high gear. at this point it just feels like tickling from the inside, so it's not too distracting. baby m's grammy has warned that this will soon turn into more persistent kicks and what feels like the baby gnawing on my ribcage... time will tell!
in other news, if baby m cooperates, it will soon have a name! we are scheduled for our "anatomy screen" ultrasound next week. they'll do lots of measurements to make sure baby m is developing on schedule... with the added bonus of finding out if baby m is a girl or a boy! if you haven't cast your vote yet, time is running out! we'll post the news once it is confirmed... stay tuned!
