We had our first doctor's visit on Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Shawn came with me, of course. We were hoping to hear the baby's heart beat or at least get an ultrasound, but we weren't sure what would happen. The doctor just looked me over and talked to me about what I can eat and medicines I can take, etc. She then asked us to schedule an ultrasound for this week or next. I was bummed that she didn't do it that day, but was super excited about it. We scheduled it for just two days later: Thursday, April 17, 2008.
Shawn and I were so excited about the ultrasound. I luckily was pretty busy at work so my mind wasn't thinking about it all day. It only took about 15 minutes, but seeing that tiny baby and its tiny little heart beating a strong 183 beats/minute was overwhelming. I didn't cry because I was just way too happy. Even though I knew I was pregnant, actually seeing that baby and knowing that everything looked perfect puts my mind at ease and makes this whole thing real.
Here is a picture of our little gummy bear!
