Thursday afternoon I had a routine appointment with my midwife. Josh wasn't able to come due to work running late, but I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary so it didn't bother me. There was a brief moment when I thought he needed to be there... but no, everything is still on track and normal for now ;) At my last appointment Pearl mentioned she was a little surprised that my fundus was a little taller (farther along) than expected at that time. Again, she said my fundus was showing about 19 weeks, while I'm at 17 weeks. My first question was "what are the reasons for this... twins??" While that is one option, it's not the only answer thank goodness :) As she found the little bean's heartbeat, my heart skipped a beat as she moved to the other side and we heard it again. My eyes widened, but she assured me it was the same heartbeat. And yes, I'm very aware that this early a 2nd baby bean could be hiding or quite stealth. Josh and I would like a big family, but fingers crossed, we really just want one right now!
I have a new patient appointment in a few weeks with an OBGYN and am going to inquire if I can get my 20 week ultrasound at that time, but I won't be surprised if they make it just a new patient exam and make you come back another time for anything else.
One bean is a good bean! ;-)
