That's the sound of Baby Gerke's heartbeat and we got to hear it today! The heartbeat was a little tough to find, but once the baby stopped moving all around the heartbeat was strong and very fast (according to the doctor). Scott was so nervous. I don't think he took a single breath while the doctor was searching for the heartbeat. I kept hearing a couple of beats here and there, but Scott wasn't hearing that. As soon as the doctor would start to hear the heartbeat, Baby Gerke would move away. But bottom line is that we heard the heart beat and the doctor said that puts us in the clear....we're in the safe zone!!!!
I do apparently have a small infection, but that is being treated with some antibiotics and should be gone in about a week. News to me, but glad it is something easily taken care of. Our next appointment is on August 10th. The day after we get back from out next vacation. Scott's boss has got to love him...he goes on vacation for a week, then has an appointment the first day back. No really his boss is incredibly supportive, so it's not a big deal! And if all goes as planned, looks like we'll be finding out boy or girl, the first week in September! It seems like so far away, but I know it will be here before we know it!
