Doctor Appointment Day

I love doctor's appointment days :) I'd go every week if they'd let me just for the reassurance that the doppler brings. I was a little nervous because I hadn't felt Noodle move much over the last couple of days (but s/he is kicking like crazy this very minute!). Nevertheless, I measured where the doctor was pleased (15.5 cms, means nothing to me--I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow). And she easily found the heartbeat and it was 158 beats per minute. Nice and steady. Doctor wanted me to wait until my next appointment (almost 22 weeks) to schedule the ultrasound, but I pouted a little, so she let me schedule it today as long as I waited until after 20 weeks to schedule it. So November 23rd is the BIG day. 23 is my lucky number, so I have a good feeling about it. 4 more weeks until we know if baby Noodle is a boy or girl! So excited!
