Got an official due date :D


Saw the doctor yesterday for the second time. All is great! My blood tests, females tests, etc. all came back perfect! I lost four pounds. Woo hoo!! Probably from all the nausea. The doctor said in the next few days to a week the morning sickness should be gone. SO greatful for that!
He verified how far along I am and that my definite due date is September 21st and won't change from this point on. Yay! I asked him how much caffeine I can safely have, and he said a cup of coffee is fine. Two wouldn't kill me either. Then he said "So decide first how big you want to make that one cup" LOL I love my doctor. Also asked him about the migraines I've been having. He said I can safely take 1000mg Tylenol at a time. If that doesn't work, we'll try Ibuprofen but he likes to avoid it because if you take Ibuprofen past 23 wks it can prematurely close baby's heart valves. Don't want to do that!
Then he used the doppler and we found the baby's heart beat within just a few minutes. Baby was hiding to the right of my tummy, between belly button and pubic area. Kinda in the middle. The sound was so glorious! Perfect
He said we'll set our next ultrasound up before 19 weeks. So about 7 weeks and we'll know what we're having. Yay!! Yesterday it was the most PERFECT appointment!! I literally walked out of there on and praising God.
I know this may be a slightly boring post, but I didn't know how many of you may have had the same questions about caffeine and Tylenol as I did and thought the answers may be helpful. Yay! Now I'm almost in second tri and SOOOO happy!!!
