12 Weeks
I had my 12 week appointment yesterday, and it went really well :).  I got to meet my midwife's assistant/apprentice, and I love her already.  I also got to hear the heartbeat.  It took a while to find because my pulse was so loud haha.  But, they eventually found it, and it was strong and perfect.  It was in the spot that I swear I keep feeling some kind of movement already.  It's not ever strong, but by the third one, I think I know the difference between a gas bubble and baby!  She felt for the fundal height (the top of the uterus), and she said it's a little high, but mostly right on.  So, I guess I'm not a whole month ahead :).  I always measure a week or two ahead, and both of my babies were born about a week early, so I might be a week ahead... but that's probably it. 
The appointment was mostly paperwork, then the typical listening to the heartbeat, taking blood pressure, peeing on a stick, etc. Those things will happen every time. Next time I will have a little bit of blood work done.
