**SHORT UPDATE**
We went to our second doctor's appt today and got to hear our baby's heartbeat!!!! The doc said it was in the 150s, which is normal (between 120 and 160 is considered normal). So he's still in there doing his thing and he sounded so...CUTE! So my next appt is after Ryan and Yana's wedding and that is also when I will be getting my prescription for my 20-week ultrasound!
**END OF UPDATE**
We were supposed to go to the doctor last week, as you may remember, but it was moved to this week. And it was moved again to a different doctor an hour earlier because I'm not supposed to see the nurse practitioner until my third visit. They originally wanted to reschedule again to the end of the month until I pointed out that that would almost be two months since my last appointment and if I'm supposed to be going monthly then that wouldn't work so well, would it? So they managed to squeeze me in and D has the day off so he will be able to accompany me to hear our baby's heartbeat. I'll update with any interesting info we might get, but I have been getting some belly pic requests, and with D so faithfully taking them, I am able to oblige:

Aww, Jess, you look so great! I can't wait till you start feeling the little guy/girl move--that is the most awesome feeling. You're getting close. :)

What a cute belly! So excited for you 2! Or should I say 3? Can't wait to see your belly grow & my grandchild grow, too, of course! ENJOY!

Yeah, that's a wannabe belly. I told Josh to come here so he could see your belly, and he says, "Where is it?" Of course, he's used to the mondo one strapped to the front of me :)

Oh, I just love your little bump! I do hope you feel BK soon. My sister is due about week after you and has already felt Little Baby Oz several times!!

Wow! By your next appointment you'll be @ the halfway mark! Cool! It's going by quickly, don't you think?

Awesome!!!!
I made the fudge! It was absolutely delish! I'll be definitely making it again.

Yay for the heartbeat!! That's an awesome sound, isn't it? It makes it more real that there's someone growing in there. It's fun when you start to feel him move, cause at first you're like, ok, was that him or did I have gas? But then you start to tell the difference :)

Oh, yay for hearing the heartbeat! Isn't is awesome... and fast?!
You know, the old wives' tales say that a higher heartrate = a girl. Ari's was always in the 150s or above. I'm just sayin'... O:)

OK, so I looked it up and I lied... Ari's heartrate was most often in the high 140s, sometimes 150s, and once in the 180s (!). Anyway...
