All is wonderfully well! The appointment was short and sweet. Little One's heartbeat was found instantly this time, and the doctor said it sounded "loud, strong, and perfect." I was amazed at how easily it showed up this time.
The other good news was that I've finally gained weight! I should have, given the way that I've been eating, but I wasn't sure since the scale at our house was decidedly undecided on how much I actually weigh. I've gained exactly 5 pounds, though, which he was happy with. I, myself, was just thrilled that I didn't lose any more. Somehow that's not the idea. At any rate, I'm now officially heavier than I've ever been in my life. I have a feeling I'm about to see new records all over the place.
I also went today to get my quad screen for Downs Syndrome and the cystic fibrosis screen. Fun times. No news yet on that, but we'll know something in about 10 days. I'm not worried.
Our next appointment is August 28th. If all goes well, my birthday present this year will be finding out if we have a son or a daughter. (For those who are unaware, my birthday is August 29th. Easy to remember - it's the same day as Michael Jackson. Hurray.)

I'm so happy all is going well for your little peanut. This is so exciting for me and we've never even met. I can imagine how exciting this is for you and your family. :) Keep up the good work, Mama.
And you've never looked more beautiful, Justa.
It's so weird to hear a woman excited that she's gained five pounds, though I am highly excited for you as well!
How exciting! I just found out that one of my best friends is pregnant and I am so excited! I'm glad you post about all of this stuff- it's interesting to read! Have a great weekend!
