We Have a Heartbeat!

Wed, 09-27-2006 - 5:41pm

I hardly slept last night because I had such anxiety about my appointment. I wasn't sure what to feel? Excited or Scared? I sware the moment they inserted the u/s it felt like a lifetime before he said "and there is the heartbeat". So of course I totally started crying. Then he let us actually hear the hearbeat so of course the river of tears were flowing even more. We had never actually heard the hearbeat before. It was a morning of emotion and excitement. I am just thankful we made this far. I know I have a long road before my milestone but I do think these weekly appointments will help make it a little easier.
Before I left, the Dr. said "I know your scared and nervous so I would like to see you in 2 weeks". HMMMM......? I said is there anyway i could have another u/s next week for peace of mind? He said "I will see you next week." Thank goodness!!! I don't know if I could of waited 2 whole weeks now that I am done doing betas.

Anyway, that was my morning start and I ended it with an amazing relaxing facial. So I am calm for now. Check back in a few days and I might be back to my neurotic self.
Thanks for all the support and encouraging words. This board is so wonderful and I'm not quit sure where I would be without it.

Thanks everybody for sharing my day with me! It helps the whole not telling anyone.

Nicole-
I can definitely relate, I did not sleep a wink last night. As I read your post I was thinking wow we had the same exact experience this morning. That's pretty crazy. I am 6 weeks to the day. I think my due date is 5/25. hopefully we will be here together for the long haul. Your post made me smile as well!
