We have a heartbeat! 11w2d

2 weeks ago, at my "9 week check up" the doctor was able to find baby's heartbeat with a doppler. So I decided to go ahead and spend the money on a home doppler so I can hear my baby whenever I want - especially when there are 4 weeks between appointments! So my doppler arrived last week Monday - and I thought I was able to find the heartbeat a few times, but only for a couple seconds - not even long enough to get a little video.

DH was finally able to get a good listen Saturday morning, beating away at approx. 178 beats per minute. He commented on how fast it was - and was concerned, until I told him that it was a good thing. I was still only able to hold the precious sound for about 15 seconds. Well, today I tried again, and it was loud and clear! Super fast too! Beating around 181!!! I was able to listen for a couple of minutes - long enough to catch some video (which is a tricky task all by yourself). What a great reward after being so exhausted at work today.


In other news - I still feel so nauseous, but yesterday I was actually able to eat - A LOT! I ate a bowl of cereal at 8am, my entire breakfast at Denny's at 11:30am (2 eggs, 2 slices toast, 2 sausage links, hash browns, and a large OJ), and plenty of dinner/snacks at the Super Bowl party.

Speaking of the Super Bowl - we didn't get back home last night til about 1:30am - delayed 1.5 hours due to a raccoon that started in my mom's car (under the hood) and ended up in my parents garage. All in all, it was a good weekend!
