Can't believe another week has gone by!!! The weeks are actually flying by!
We had a doctor appointment yesterday. He gave me a prescription for an anti-nausea medication to use "as I need it". I'm going to try to as long as I can to not use it. Any medication I take, the baby takes, so we'll see how long I can go without it. It is comforting to know I have it, if it gets unbearable. :)
When it came time for the doctor to find the heartbeat, he couldn't find it. Naturally, I began to panic. I felt like my worst fear was coming true. Josh was so sweet and kept telling me "Everything is OK!" My doctor offered to give me an ultrasound, just to make sure everything was ok. Of course, I said "YES PLEASE!" LOL. As soon as the baby came up on the monitor, one of its hands shot up and waived at us!!! It was the best feeling ever to see the baby moving. We got to watch the baby for about 5 minutes. It was moving SO much! Arms were going crazy and legs were kicking back and forth. At one point he/she put his/her hand up in its face. (The ultrasound picture above shows baby's hand above its head.) It's so amazing how much love you can have for this little baby...we had huge smiles on our faces the rest of the day!! They re-measured the baby and I have a new due date. SEPTEMBER 10th...which is baby's Uncle Tim's birthday! :-)
What started out as a emotional, stressful appointment...ended up being an amazing day! :-)
