Check Up With Dr. Clarke

Retroactive Post: Sorry about the delay in this post as we have had a full schedule. On this day Shannon went for a check up with Dr. Clarke and I was able to accompany her.

Dr. Clarke briefly discussed the results from the ultrasound earlier this month. With the results, he was able to put Shannon's mind at ease and confirmed she was not having twins. Also, the dates are pretty accurate regarding how far along Shannon is.

Dr. Clarke also wanted to give us an opportunity to hear the baby's heartbeat, we both were pretty excited. He placed the stethoscope on Shannon's tummy and began to listen around. At one point he had a concerned tone in his voice and look on his face, as a result of not being able to locate the heartbeat. He tried again, and found it. When he found it, immediately I had a proud grin on my face. The reality of the birth settled in even more hearing the baby's heartbeat.

Keep checking back soon, as we will have a poll regarding whether the baby is a boy or girl.
