September Checkup and Heartbeat

We had our September checkup today. Due to a scheduling conflict, we had our first (and maybe only) appointment with the P.A. Jill, instead of the OB. We liked Jill well enough and she quickly eliminated our concerns that she might not be familiar enough with our situation.

So far, Dana seems to be losing weight, but the experts don't seem to be surprised by that. Dana has also been experiencing some back pain, but it looks like she's carrying more towards her spine, so no surprises there either. Finally, Jill busted out the Dopler and we heard the baby's heartbeat.

You can hear Jill and Dana commenting about the rate and rhythm. 160 bpm! That's my kid!
