All is well! Lydi told me that I looked healthy and not "small" at all. She said that most people are used to looking at pregnant women who overeat so that's why they I'm being told I'm "small" by others. She tried using her Pinard horn fetascope and still had no luck in hearing the baby with it. I told her that I've been listening and the heartbeat is 130-140. Next time I'll bring down my cheapy fetascope (which works great). She has an interesting way of testing my iron and vit. k (clotting) levels- which makes her judge a level of concern of hemorrhage during birthing. She pokes me in the finger lightly with a lancet and observes the color and "flow" of the spot. She said my blood looks good and has no worries.
Last night Patricia and Danny both listened to the heartbeat. Trish was amazed at the speed of the heartbeat and Danny couldn't have been more adorable...."There's a baby in there!" was his smiley response as his eyes lit up and were brilliant in admiration and excitement. Wonderful!
