March 10th was a very exciting day for us! I had been so worried about this pregnancy and very anxious to get to the doctor but the morning of my appointment I dreaded going to the office because I just knew I was going to get bad news.
The appointment started like any other; urine sample, conference with the doctor, checking dates, and discussing prenatal vitamins...but then Dr. Turley said it was time to take a look and see if we could see the infamous sack that should be visible by the 6th week. The first attempt was with the belly ultrasound and unfortunately she could not see anything (of course not, I had just emptied my bladder) so she said we would have to "go in from the bottom".
By that time I was so nervous that I could have had a stroke right there on the table. I couldn't see the screen as she searched around, all I could see was her face and the look that spread across it was alarming as she stopped moving the probe around. "Wow, there's a baby with a heart beat!" she exclaimed. She turned the monitor toward me and there on the screen was the sweetest little flicker of a heart beat!!!! I was so shocked and needless to say a bit mesmerized!!!
She told me I was measuring a bit large for my dates and that I would have to come in again to get a sonogram on the big and better machine...and then hopefully we will have a better idea of how far along I actually am.
The good news is that she said it was great to see sucha big healthy baby this early. Things looked great! AND better news is that March 31st I will get to see my little one again, and hopefully this time around maybe I will recognize something that resembles a baby. LOL!
