My Baby Has heartbeat!!

Well, I had my first appointment and I learned two very important things, my baby has a heartbeat and I only have one baby in the oven! Two things I am very excited about.

Now, you think that I wouldn't be surprised that my baby has a heartbeat but I tell you what? I was a little worried. A friend called me a few weeks ago and told me all about her friend who had a miscarriage and It really scared me. As I was sitting and waiting for the doctor to come in and do my ultrasound, I was actually a little nervous. And a little picture came up on the screen of a cashew-ish looking thing and in the middle of the cashew there was a quick fading in and out. The doctor said this is the heartbeat and I can't even begin to explain the feeling that came over me. Babies truly are a miracle. I can't believe I have one growing inside of me.

Well, right now the baby is mostly head, but I did see two little stubs that the doctor informed me were arms. The baby has two arms! (Again, that shouldn't surprise me) The baby was moving around a lot and The doctor said I had a mover. That should make for an interesting third trimester.

I got a picture and a DVD, so Aaron got to see the heartbeat too. I will post the picture when I get some time but as for now, you will just have to use those sweet reading skills I know you have.
