10 Week Appointment!

Today I went to the Dr. for my 10 week appointment! I was so excited to hear the little heartbeat! So the Dr. came in and got the little heartbeat ultrasound and started rubbing it on my tummy. Some time goes by and we couldn't hear anything! I was getting a little scared at this point. So the Dr. tried something else and then did the ultrasound again and still nothing! He told me to get dressed and that he would do the ultrasound to where you can actually see the baby. He said I would be able to see the flutter of the heart. He didn't want me to go home worrying! So I got dressed and of course at this point I am freaking myself out thinking that maybe there really isn't a baby and that I am going to miscarry or something. So I was about in tears! Thank goodness Collin was with me trying to comfort me. We waited for probably like 15 minutes which seemed like an hour and he finally came in. What a relief! I could see the uterus and the baby inside! I could see the little heart beating and I got to see his/her arms and legs move! It was the most amazing thing. The Dr. said everything looks great! Of course I stressed over nothing! The Dr. said because I'm tall that my uterus is far back under my pelvic bone which makes it harder to hear the heart beat. He said sometimes you can't hear the heart until like 12 weeks. So even though I didn't get to actually hear the heart beat I did get to see the heart and the baby! So I kind of feel lucky in that way. The Dr. said I will find out the sex of it a couple days after new years! I am way excited for that! My next appt. is December 8th. So I will keep you guys updated!

How scary! It's so exciting though to actually see something. Does it seem more real yet?

That is scary...pregnacy is always like that. You freak out over nothing. Basically this pregnancy has been so different for me, so I have wondered if there is really a baby in there. My first appointment is Dec. 15th. Can't wait.
