Krysta Leigh
After 12 agonizing months, 8 long cycles, and 1 very painful miscarriage, we are finally expecting baby #2. Brett and this one will be 2 years and 2 months apart. On November 7, 2002, one of my friends convinced me to take a home pregnancy test even though I wasn't even late for my period. Surprisingly, it came back positive. I took another one on November 11, and the line was much darker. Thanks to charting, I know that my due date is July 20, 2003. Here is my chart for anyone interested.
Met with my midwife for the first time on November 11. Not much we could do so we just talked and I will definitely be having a home water birth. She will be coming back January 3 to see if we can hear the heartbeat. She also said that if I want an ultrasound that I should see an obgyn since she can't get me in for one. So I will be doing that soon.

The midwife came but we couldn't hear the heartbeat. She will be coming back on the 10th to check again. I rented a doppler that should get here on the 7th or 8th so I'll hopefully be able to hear it before the 10th!

Got my doppler and heard the heartbeat!! About 170 beats per minute! Sounds like a little girl in there! ;o)
