So, even though I was supposed to see the doctor weeks ago, our insurance was a bit messed up and we finally got it figured out so that I could finally go and see the doc. I love my new doctor and the office already, which is a very good thing for me, because I was being so negative about not seeing my favorite OB of all time who delivered my other 4 babies perfectly.
Anyway, I finally made it in and after the routine pee on a stick (except they had me pee in a cup! How odd...), get the blood pressure and weight, ask the typical questions, they finally pulled out the machine that let's you hear that sweet little "swoosh-swoosh" sound of.... the heartbeat :)
The nurse had a little trouble finding it, and she kept saying "You're over 12 weeks, this should be pretty easy to find..." and finally after an agonizing 5 minutes (well, it seemed like that long.... it was probably 30 seconds :) that beautiful sound came into my ears. It made me so happy! I don't know if it's because I feel like this will be our last baby, or what, but I am relishing every thing about this pregnancy (you know, besides wanting to throw-up almost every waking moment), and that heartbeat.... music to my ears!
It also reassured me that I haven't been making all of this up, it's not in my head, I'm sick for a reason, and there really IS indeed, a baby inside of me. Hey, you never know. But it's so amazing.
Like I said.... I'm relishing this :)

I'm so glad its not a mole pregnancy hehehe! I'm glad your baby has a heart :) What do you want it to be a girl or boy?
Congratulations Sarah!! I am so excited for you!! Hope you get feeling better soon!
There truly is no better sound...my first appointment they couldn't find the heart beat and needless to say I was a wreck for the next two days until I had an ultra sound. You forget how much a little sound like a heart beat means to ya!
Congrats! How exciting... I know with Tennyson it didn't really seem real until I actually heard his heart beat.
Isn't that crazy how you hold your breath almost waiting to hear that first heartbeat!? It's good when it all makes sense!
I LOVE that sound...best sound in the world...CONGRATS again I am really excited for you:o)
