A Big Day (Now with an Update!)

Posted in project: baby on 7:41 AM by Mrs. Ca

Today is my second prenatal appointment - the one where we get to try to hear the heartbeat. I'm beyond nervous and antsy. I didn't call in tired yesterday so that I could call in tired today because I didn't think that calling in nervous and antsy would be acceptable, especially since I haven't told my boss about being pregnant yet.

I'm also kind of hoping we'll get a ultrasound today because I really don't think I can wait until 20 weeks to see the baby - is there anyone else who only got to see the baby once while pregnant?

I'll update tonight to let everyone know how it went. I'm praying, keeping my fingers crossed, and all that jazz. It's going to be a looonnnggg morning.

UPDATE:

Everything is going great with the baby. They couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler, so I ended up with an ultrasound. (Darn, huh?)

Don't worry if they don't find the heartbeat right away...My doctor warned me because they're so small and if they move around a lot it might be hard to pinpoint at first.... :) It's really cool though when you hear it.

(one thing to think about - if you only have one ultrasound throughout your pregnancy it means that everything is HEALTHY! That's a good thing! - but I won't deny that seeing the little one is pretty cool).
