22 weeks

I'm feeling really good, for the most part.  The baby is doing well too.  I'm still having a hard time finding her heartbeat with the doppler, but I always manage to catch it for at least a few seconds.  This evening I managed to find it pretty strongly for quite a while.  She must have been asleep.  Her movements have been stronger and more frequent this week too, so that's good news.  There isn't much else to report.  My next doctor's appointment is in another week.  Over the weekend Darren and I had lunch with some friends that we don't see often enough.  Our friend Wendy had a baby last July, so much of our lunch was spent talking about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and babies, etc.  Darren was really excited about those topics. :)  During the conversation the subject of doctors came up and we discovered that we actually have the same OB/GYN.  I was pretty amazed because Wendy doesn't even live near us.  Our doctor is wonderful though.  We both really love her.  I honestly don't think I would be where we are with all of this if it weren't for her pushing for reasons and solutions to our problem.  I don't think another doctor would have been as thorough as she is.  I am very lucky to have her as my doctor.

Anyway, we are heading off to New York on Wednesday to visit family.  I am pretty excited for the trip.  A vacation is definitely needed.  There has been a lot to do in the past week and in the next day or so as well.  I'm having a hard time staying motivated and remembering everything on my list.  If you have emailed me or sent me a Facebook message in the last week or so, I'm sorry I haven't responded!  I'm not ignoring you.  I just have a short attention span and memory these days.  I will make an effort to respond before we leave though (unless you sent me several blank virus emails *Jessi*). :)
