We went to my doctors appointment early Friday morning (11 weeks 2 days) and I was so nervous and anxious about something being wrong. I am so thankful that Tony has Fridays off and was able to come with me. Anyways I started to fill out paperwork and they called me to one of the back examination rooms. I sat down and in walks our Certified Physicians Assistant Dawn. She was very nice and I instantly felt comfortable with her. She started by asking about my family medical history and some genetic questions for Tony. Finally she told me to hop up on the table so we could listen for the heartbeat.
At first the heartbeat was nowhere to be found she went back and forth on my very, very low stomach and nothing. Then she started to press a little harder and another minute later we heard it! It was a little quieter than I thought it would be but it was strong and wonderful! Then she said the baby must have moved because she lost the sound. So she moved to the other side and there it was much easier to find this time and again just a strong little heartbeat. I joked with Tony that the baby didn't really move to the other side that was another baby over there. TWINS! Maybe... We will know for sure how many babies I am taking care of next Friday during the ultrasound.
After all the wonderful sounds of our baby she left the room while I undressed and got into a hospital gown for a pap smear. I really hate those but I was way over due and anything they need to do to make sure our baby is doing ok. I also got a flu shot and I had some more blood drawn (so she can test my sugar and make sure that I am not diabetic).
Here I am going to post the video of our babies heartbeat for all of you who want to experience it too!
