Houston, we have a heartbeat

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…

So happy for you!! It is so great to hear the little one’s heart beat! Love you!
