Doctor's appt: 14 weeks

Today we went to the doctor's for our regular appointment, just moved up a week because of the kidney stone ordeal. I checked out fine and then it was time to listen to the baby's heartbeat. She put the the doppler on my belly and moved it around for a minute or more without finding it. This made us nervous and I told her that she had to find it before we left! She said that she wasn't worried at all and asked if we could hear all of the "swishing" noises. We nodded and she said that those noises were from the baby moving around so much. She said the baby was extremely active and moving so much that she couldn't hardly pin it down long enough to get a reading. So she pushed the doppler down harder in my belly and after a few seconds we heard a thud. She said that was from the baby. It had kicked back at her! Finally, she located the baby's heartbeat and it was at 160/bpm. She said that her guess is that it's a girl. Our next appointment is November 26th and we're scheduled for an ultrasound to find out what we're having. We'll be in our 19th week.
