First Appointment!

May 16, 2013

Hey Bug!!!

I'm so proud of you. I want to let you know that daddy and I love you so much! We had our first appointment today, which we thought we would be at 11 weeks tomorrow with you. We were definitely off, but you were there. You're measuring at 8 weeks and 3 days, and guess what? Daddy saw you're heartbeat before I did! It was at 170, so it was nice and strong. I cried when I heard the tech ask if we saw that flicker, and that told me that you are alive and thriving. I can't believe that I didn't see it, but she went back, so I could see it. It was amazing to see it beating away, and we got to hear it too! I'm a little nervous because we haven't made it past the 8w5/6d mark, but the u/s tech said she wasn't concerned. Also, we get to see you again on June 6th! The doctor nicely gave us an extra u/s for you just to make sure that you are where you're supposed to be at 12 weeks. I know we aren't out of the woods yet, but it seems like we've made leaps and bounds with you already! We love you lots! And your due date has switched to December 23rd! We are looking forward to a Christmas baby.

So to the rest of you, we're hoping that the next appointment goes well. This means that we hope to see a baby measuring about 12 weeks with a strong hb. So far I have had sore bb, fatigue, all-day nausea and have been throwing up every morning since Saturday. So I will talk to you all soon!
