Okay, now why didn’t anyone tell me that I had a typo on my last post title?? Hummm? “I’m at a lost” So you probably figured out what I meant but I feel kind of silly. I must be the queen of typos. Jer caught it so maybe I should hire him for my permanent editor.
We finally made it to my first prenatal visit. Hurray! I immediately liked my new midwife. Such a friendly smile. She thought I was measuring 3 weeks big but I did have a super full bladder so for now I’ll just think little baby was getting pushed up high.
I admit I was so anxious to finally hear a heartbeat. It gets to the point where I just want some confirmation of why my body is going bizerk and I can’t fit into any of my pants. It’s hard not to have those fears of “what if there is no heartbeat.” I know that it happens and there is nothing I could do about it and so it’s a relief to finally hear that small creature inside of me.
I did think I felt some movement the other day. It seemed quite obvious but since I haven’t felt any more big ones I tend to think it was my imagination or a super big gas bubble. HE HE!.


Isn’t that the best sound in the world? Congrats again!

Since I delurked to comment last time, I’ll delurk again to say a big congratulations to you and your family! Yes, it does suddenly get much more “real” when you hear that heartbeat.

Wow, that was your first prenatal visit at 3 1/2 months!? I don’t think I’ve ever waited that long, but I suppose you don’t do a whole lot in those first few visits anyway. Congrats on the heartbeat! It’s always so amazing to confirm that there is a little one growing inside you. We can’t wait to find out what it is. Are you finding out the sex ahead of time?

those gas bubbles can be very sneaky…
