Marshall came with me to my first real prenatal appointment back in July. We thought we may be able to listen to the heart beat. After the typical check up routine, Dr. Ahmed was afraid we wouldn't be able to hear the heart beat yet because of the tilt of my uterus and the fact I was just 10 weeks. Being so kind,she offered to do a quick ultrasound. That was certainly more than we had ever expected for that day! Instead of hearing the heart beat, we watched it beating. It was amazing--literally I was on cloud nine all day--just ask Marshall. Seeing the baby move about made it so real, more than just feeling sick and tired every day :-) We'll have another ultrasound sometime in September for the doctors to check everything and to find out whether it's a girl or boy--we'll keep you posted on that.
