Tiny Little Kicks

We already knew we had an active little boy, but this weekend I really started feeling actual kicks instead of just a little fish swimming around. It's distracting, because every time he does it I smile and think about him with my hand on my belly. This is especially interesting when I'm at work :-) Sunday night, Rob even got to feel him kick! You still can just barely feel it from the outside, but he definitely felt it.

From here on out, I will be going to the doctor every two weeks. It's early to be starting that, but because of the problems I've had and the potential for the baby to have thyroid problems in utero they want to monitor his heart beat more often. As long as his heart beat is in the normal range, I won't have to go to a high risk doctor (for now). So many specialists! My OB is monitoring the baby and an endocrinologist is monitoring me, all to try and avoid needing a high risk doctor. And I though I was done with specialists once I finally got pregnant!
