I am so eager for my little one to be born and I am only 8 weeks along. Heard the heartbeat last Friday, January 30th and it made everything seem that much more real. My sunshine didn’t look like much on the ultrasound, looked like a blob. But there is no mistaking the sound of a precious beating heart. Amazed that at 7 weeks there is already the sound of a heartbeat. It was the first moment I felt like a mommy. My eyes filled with happy tears and I was so proud of my sweet, strong, developing baby in the making. I glanced up at my husband to find that he too was a little misty eyed. What a beautiful moment. Our first doctor visit and the first glance at our sweet pea.

6 weeks and 5 days

We both were quite pleased with our OBGYN. To my surprise she was actually the same OB to my best friend who also had nothing but great things to say about her. I left that visit feeling as if I was on cloud 9 all over again. I looked at my husband and said, “Isn’t this all just amazing?” He smiled and even chuckled at me a bit and replied, “Yes it is” as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and brought me in close while we walked to the car.
