17 week midwife visit

Lauren's 17 weeks pregnant today. She, Zach and the girls went to Lynda's for a check-up. This was only the 2nd time Lauren got to hear the heartbeat and the first for everyone else so that was exciting! It was around 148, and the baby was moving around to dodge the waves :) Lynda actually felt it move, which was neat. Lauren's BP was 100/70 so doing good! Her uterus is almost all the way up to her belly button and the baby was up pretty high. It'll be interesting to see what that means in regard to placenta placement whenever they have an ultrasound.

Poppy told Lynda we're going to name the baby Vivica or Poppy. She also asked why Lynda didn't get the baby out after we heard the heartbeat ha ha. Lolli's face lit up like Christmas when she got to hear the heartbeat! She was curious about the doppler goo being blue instead of white.

All in all a good visit!
