14 WEEKS!!!!
...and today was our appointment............finally. Monday's appt. got canceled, and then they called to cancel today's appt. because the Dr. was sick.......but, thankfully they said I could see the nurse practitioner again instead. (I STILL haven't met my doctor!!!) So, we go in, and I am excited to FINALLY get to hear the heartbeat......and she couldn't find it!!....anywhere.
She then stepped out of the room to see if she could get an ultrasound scheduled.....and I started to cry, of course......I had just had this feeling we wouldn't get to hear it for some reason......She was able to get us in for an ultrasound, and the next 90 minutes
seemed to be an eternity...
When we finally went back (and I had to pee so bad I thought I would die because you have to have a full bladder!), she took some images and said she could see the heart beating. She had me go to the bathroom (thank GOD!) and then finished the study. We got to see the whole body...arms, legs, face, head, abdomen, feet...it was really surreal and such a relief. Heartbeat was 149. She said it was too early to see boy/girl parts...so, we have to wait until probably 20 weeks for another ultrasound to find out.
It felt so weird to be looking at that screen seeing he/she move all around and know that was going on inside me. I still just can't believe there's a baby in there! I am not sure why, but its such a strange feeling to me to be pregnant. I guess I never thought it would really happen. I am excited and nervous....but, everybody says thats normal.....so, I will just go with it! :)
On the house front, more progress is being made. I got lights for the entryway, stairway, and living room.....big step!!!! It takes me a loooooooooooong time to make decisions, so to have that done is big! And I have been itching to do SOMETHING at the house myself, so I painted Madison's room yesterday. Its not completely finished...but, it felt good to accomplish a little bit. :)
I will post some pics this week sometime of all this exciting stuff! :)
Can't wait for Eric's family to be in town and for his cuz's wedding. (I bought a maternity dress to wear.... LOL )
