2nd Dr. Visit: CHECKUP!!

Week 15 Dr. Visit! I wasn't even sure why we were going to the Dr. after a month, but apparently you have to go every month for awhile, and then it becomes every other week or something. I wasn't sure what this visit was for though. Barry and I were thinking maybe we'll find out the gender this time around, but it's still a tad bit too early too tell. So we go. I check in. Pee in a cup. Sat there and waited to get called in. Dr. was running 30 mins late with his appointments so Barry sat on his phone and played car games and I sat next to him making random noises. Don't ask.

30 mins later...we get called in. Nurse weighs me in at 100.8lbs. She says, "Oh! We finally reached the triple digits!" we go into the room and she asks me if I wanted to take the flu shot. I said "yeah" and she mentioned she'd come in after the Dr. was done to poke me. She walks out and we wait again, probably 5-10 mins. Dr. comes in, we start conversing about how I've been feeling, and before I know it he's rubbing a little wand looking thing on my belly. Within seconds we can hear the baby's heartbeat! It was pretty neat. Very loud and fast, almost sounded like alien noises. It made what was already kinda real to us, even more real. Dr. M said everything was normal and that he wanted to see me in a month again and told me to stay put for my shot. He leaves and probably another 10 mins later, a nurse comes in and pokes me and leaves.
Apparently the flu shot that they give pregnant women is a little different from the one they normally give out. This one doesn't seem to cause any side effects of any kind. Which was fine with me! :D

One of the things we talked about was the sleeping situation. I've been sleeping horribly for the passed few months due to reading and hearing that you can only sleep on your left side. By this time my whole left side is sore, and it feels like I've pinched a nerve. I never get a decent nights sleep because I'm constantly shuffling around looking for a comfortable position, which I'm quite limited to begin with. So I asked Dr. M what I could do, and he basically said I could sleep however which way I wanted. ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!?! THIS WHOLE TIME! He said he could write a book with all the non sense floating around about what you can or cannot do during pregnancy. That was a relief.  So that night, I slept amazingly. :)

**Like I said before...DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE AND DON'T READ FORUMS, this is proof that a lot of info floating around is complete BS!

So that's that! So far our little naval orange sized offspring is growing normal, we've seen roughly what the little one looks like and have even heard the heart beating. Now to book my ultrasound to determine the gender!
