Somersaults

dr. mccracken's office called to say they wanted to do an actual prenatal exam before i am seen in the low-risk clinic (LRC) next week. so i went, only to find out they wanted to do a pelvic exam (which i think i'll be getting at the LRC and so i declined) and prenatal blood work, which i did at the beginning of the month. so it became just another routine visit. dr. mccracken brought out the doppler again to try to hear the baby's heartbeat. well, we'd catch the beat for about 5 beats or so, then the baby would move. then we'd spend another minute looking for it, only to finally find it again and then the baby would move away again. so the doctor figured little baby konnert is doing some crazy somersaults in there. so in total, we heard maybe 10 beats.

of course my mom's response to me telling her this story was "what kind of a person can't sit still for 2 minutes? it sounds like the baby's gonna be just like you....

thanks mom.

i can't wait to be able to feel these somersaults and kicks!

next week is the LRC appointment and then the ultrasound a week later!!!!! woot woot!
