I heard the heart beat. It was the most precious sound ever. Although I was confident that things were ok, it felt better to know for sure. The doctor confirmed that I burst a blood vessel, and while I don't have any restrictions, he said it could happen again. Really, it could happen to anyone because the cervix is such a vascular area during pregnancy.
I was so relieved that I called to schdule the 16 week gender determination ultrasound with the 4D place where I had Olivia's done. So, on Dec 22, a Saturday (which is great because my family can come), we'll know what the little peanut is. We've picked a girl's name (not telling!), so if it's a boy, the arguing will continue. Otherwise, we've got it covered.
I took a couple belly pics, but my camera is at home and I'm at my mom's. I'll get those posted tomorrow. :-)
