<\/p>\nThe most beautiful sight in the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My hands were clammy. Even though I kept reminding myself how sick I feel, how good I feel, how the spotting has stopped… even still, I still worry. I don’t think the worry will ever end.<\/p>\n
The nurse and ultrasound tech came in and started the scan and there was the little blob inside the sac. I held my breath for a moment as she scanned slowly through it, and there… there. Movement. A tiny little swoosh-swoosh as the heart beat. 128 beats per minute.<\/p>\n
The baby measures at about a day ahead, which means they put for my due date May 24th. So all my medical records will be off by a day again – I think it’s my lot in life.<\/p>\n
My next ultrasound will be next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
They asked who my OB was and I hedged. I mentioned that I had thought about asking if Dr. W. was taking new patients. I had met him years ago, back when I was searching for an GYN in the area, and really liked him. When I was pregnant with Devin he wasn’t doing OB patients, no deliveries. He ended up leaving the practice and ended up at the OB group at the hospital…. the group that shares the office with my RE clinic. So I’ve been mulling it over. Well the nurse thought this was a fantastic idea and went running off to get me in. She said they do have to limit how many patients they take on, but that they “have an in.” My intake with the nurse is scheduled for Oct 21.<\/p>\n
I’m just… in awe. A week and a half ago there was nothing but a yolk sac there. Now there’s this baby<\/i> – a little living being with a heartbeat, growing inside me. I don’t think I’ll ever get over that. How strange and wonderful and absolutely amazing. I just want to cry tears of joy, of gratitude.<\/p>\n
