Heard the Heartbeat Last Night! :)

Last night before going to bed I laid down and tried once again to find the heartbeat on my Sonoline B doppler. I have had it for 2 weeks but hadn't had any luck in finding it yet. I didn't worry, because my doctor doesn't even try until 12 weeks. I actually used regular body lotion instead of the gel. I lotioned up my belly and then put a little on the doppler itself. It took a good 5 minutes of poking around, but I finally found it! I cried! I yelled for DH to come listen, but by the time he got there I lost it. I laid there for a few more minutes and found it again, and took a little video of it. It was hard to take the video, and hold the doppler at the same time so its kind of a horrible video, but you can hear it. The second half you can hear it a lot better than the first half. So amazing!!

How far along? 11 weeks - Lime!
Weight gain/loss: Same as last week, no gain no loss
Maternity clothes? Soon I think, jeans getting tighter, at the end of the day I usually have to unbutton them. 
Stretch marks? I've had some for years, t joys of my fair Irish skin...
Sleep? I've been waking usually twice a night to use the bathroom, so sleep hasn't been that great. 
Best moment this week? At my OB appointment last Monday I had to fill out birth certificate and hospital info, that was crazy to think about!
Food cravings: No real cravings, but happy to have a little appetite back. 
Gender: Can't wait to find out, 5 weeks hopefully! 
Belly button in or out? In
Movement? Too early still, soon I hope!
What I miss? I was missing sangria a little when we went out to dinner one night. But so worth missing it!
What I'm looking forward to: Our NT scan is scheduled for next Monday, hope it all goes well!
Milestones: Not fitting comfortably into my pants, I haven't' gained any weight and I'm not bloated, so it must be my uterus expanding! I can hope, right?
