20 Week Dr Appointment

: 01/25/2006
Just had the 20 week Dr appointment. Everything is looking good. My BP is great, I am gaining as she wants me to (1 lb/wk), baby's heartbeat is strong (145-150 BPM). Everything is going smoothly.When she was looking for the heartbeat, she started on the right and moved her way over to the left, which is where Peanut hides out. All the movement, kicking and heaviness is always on the left. Every once in awhile it is on the right, but 9 of 10 times, the left. Also, I did feel one morning movement on both sides at once, guess Peanut was stretching!Funny story, ironically enough, she asked me if I had felt any movement, which of course I have. Peanut is not still anytime that I am. Mover and a shaker in there. But I told her most of the movement has been the fluttering type, with a few pokes. While she was taking the heartbeat, which took about 30 sec to a minute, Peanut actually kicked the Doppler. Guess it was invading personal space!Brian and I have scheduled the big ultrasound for this Friday, so on the 27th we will see it all. I am really excited about that. We could find out the sex then if we wanted to, but we are going to wait till the birth. I will update with pictures then!
