I think we’re having a puppy…

I went to the doctor today and got to hear the heartbeat.  It was a lot louder and clearer than before!  So that was cool.  Except that it totally sounds like a dog barking.  In a very rhythmic ruff-ruff sort of way.  I asked the doctor if it was normal for it to sound like a dog.  She looked at me like I was crazy.

Oh, it’s week 14 and Spanky is the size of a lemon, measuring 3.5 inches and weighing 1.5 ounces.  This website really loves its citrus.  I cheated and looked up the sizes for the remainder of the pregnancy.  It totally gets better, so stay tuned.

Oops

I probably should have mentioned that everything is fine. I feel great. I might be starting to show a bit. I am also suffering from the requisite heartburn. And I told people at work about Spanky’s existence. So all-in-all, the second trimester gets 2 thumbs up.

I am going to the dr. on Friday. This will hopefully be the last visit with the bad dr. before completely transitioning to the midwife. I am hoping for a quick visit, where they are likely to remind me that gluten-free is the equivalent of malnourished. But on the good side, I will probably get to hear the heartbeat.
