The Most Beautiful Sound
Well, I had my 10 week check-up yesterday morning. Jonathan was unable to go (he had a meeting he couldn't miss), which was fine, because I knew it was going to be a long appointment of tests and questions. It was long (two hours) and full of questions, tests, and intrusive exams (to say the least--haha). They took about six vials of blood to test for various things, leaving me just enough blood to get home before collapsing. But the best thing was that my doctor surprised me and said we could try to find the heartbeat! I was so excited but he told me that there was only about a 50% chance he'd be able to find it this early on. After a couple minutes of searching, he told me we probably would just have to wait until next time. And then I heard it. It was the most amazing, awesome, indescribable sound I've ever heard. To actually hear that tiny heart beating reminded me of the true miracle of life. I know, I know, I'm getting a little corny, but deal with it. :) I called Jonathan right away afterwards to tell him (he was like, "That's cool, hon"--such a guy response) and then I called my mom and bawled like a baby! It was truly the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

How exciting!! What was the heartrate? They say that when it is over 150, it is usually a boy or under 150 is a girl. But obviously that isn't completely reliable. Are you showing yet? You better get some pictures online soon if you are :)
Hope you are feeling well!!
I don't think it ever REALLY hit me until I heard the heartbeat that I was pregnant...because it just didn't seem real. But the best is yet to come!!! My favorite parts of pregnancy were the ultrasound (because I hadn't felt the baby move yet so it was AWESOME to see Titus) and then actually feeling Titus move throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. Which was strange, yet amazing.
I have my ultrasound for this baby on Tuesday, and I CAN'T WAIT! I have felt this one move a tiny bit, but it is so different than with Titus - it's like I have to question whether it really is the baby. I am still saying it is a girl...
Anyway, enough of my rambling...probably because I am so excited for you :)
