3 month Check Up

Well yesterday Neal & I had our 3 month check up with Dr. Rudat! First of all I wasnt sure what we were going to be doing at our check up...all I knew is that I desperately wanted to hear the babies heartbeat. So our appt was at 1 pm....as most dr offices are, they are always running late! W finally got in around 1:10....they checked my weight which was 130.8pds. Then the nurse said Dr. Rudat would be in so pls take off everything from the waist down. Well she left & I all of a sudden had to use the restrooms...so I quickly left & did the deed. Well about 10min went by & Dr. Rudat finally came in. He asked how I was feeling & I told him great besides the part of being nervous to whether I would hear the heartbeat or not. So he put the SUPER COLD gel on my lower tummy & took his handy dandy heartbeat detector and started to look. When he first put it on there I didnt hear anything & then BAM I heard this amazing sound....OUR BABIES HEARTBEAT!!!! At first I was in shock that the noise was coming from my tummy but second I was just smiling from ear to ear! Dr. Rudat told me that an average baby heartbeats between 120 to 160.....158 heartbeats per minute for Baby Hummel! This lil' guy or girl is very active :) Afterwards I asked Dr. Rudat when would be able to see the baby & he said in about 8 wks. That seems so long to me but I guess good things come to the those who wait so I guess I will keep waiting. So our next appt is set for Oct 4th @ 930. Not sure when he will do but I'm guessing we will hear the babies heartbeat again....so I'm excited for that!
