We were anticipating this week because we had our first doctors appointment on December 17 at 9:00am. Tim and I met at Azalea OBGYN and were taken upstairs to the ultra sound room. For the first time, we were able to see the baby on the screen. We saw the little heart pumping really fast. I think she said it was beating 162 beats per minute. It was fascinating! Tim and I both teared up a little because we just couldn't believe we could see the baby. The baby is an inch long, is losing the tadpole tail and forming little buds for arms and legs. We heard the heart beating too! The lab lady printed out 2 pictures for us to keep. It was incredible.
I just can't believe I'm actually at this place in my life. I feel like I've waited so long to have a baby and now its inside my belly. The ultra sound really helped to relieve my fears of not being pregnant. I still have very few symptoms which cause me to question my pregnancy. There's no question about it now! After the lady took some blood and urine samples we were free to go. I was surprised that no one took my weight...since I've put on a few pounds! Tim and I went to eat a quick breakfast before heading back to work.
This was definitely the high light of our week. Time has practically stood still since we first found out we were pregnant! Oh, and Mrs. Lewis let me borrow some maternity clothes since my jeans are too tight. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful support system of friends and family who are helping me along the way. I'm enjoying every minute of it.
