Congrats!  That is so exciting.  The first time you get to see/hear the heartbeat is truly amazing.  135bpm sounds ok to me!

 Good luck with the glucose test results.

Congrats!

They estimate your due date and length of pregnancy based on measurements. I had no idea how long I had been pregnant, this was a complete and total accident for my husband and I. It seems to be pretty darn accurate, My due date has not changed since my first scan at 7.5 weeks.

My munchkin's heart rate has been pretty much a steady 150 through the whole pregnancy, If the doctor/tech was concerned about the heart rate i'm sure they would have said something

Congratulations!  It sounds like you had a good visit.  My due date changed by 1 week too early in my pregnancy (moving the due date up, I think I miscalculated) but since then baby has been measuring right on target. 

I too have been reading about the glucose tests and very nervous as I have mine scheduled for the end of the month.
