Yesterday I had my 11 week appointment with my regular doctor. I was so excited to go back and see Dr. Straughn, considering the last time I saw her I was border line crazy on clomid and crying in her office over our struggle to get pregnant. So she was so happy to see me and to see me PREGNANT! She kept joking that Alli must have "laid hands" on me or something like that.
Shaun couldn't be there with me, but he made me call him on my cell so that he could hear our sweet baby's heart beat for the first time. Even though we had seen the heart beat on the ultrasound at the fertility doctor's office, they did not have sound on their machine so we had not gotten to hear it yet. It was the most amazing sound...and was beating at a perfect 160 (Lillian's was 162 the first time we heard hers at 8 weeks).
I will not go back for five weeks, but because of some abnormal blood work I will have a high powered ultrasound during my 12 or 13 week to check on the baby. It is nothing to be concerned about, but my doctor thought it would be a good idea just to put our minds at ease. If Shaun and I intended on finding out the sex of the baby we could actually find out at that appointment! The ultrasound machine is so powerful it could clearly see little boy or girl parts at that time of gestation. Too bad we have no desire to know or this appointment would be much more anticipated.

So glad it went great!! I am so happy for you guys!
Alli could make a lot of money by laying hands on people who want to get pregnant! Ha!
I'm so glad everything is going well. There is no better sound than hearing their heartbeat. Congrats.
You are killing me-- you know you wouldn't MIND knowing, but you are sticking w/ your decision to remain surprised-- missed you at Lil Lambs-- I hope you stop by tomorrow morning, there were still some cute things today...Glad you got to hear the heartbeat, it's always magical!
