Second, I would like to tell everyone how amazing the visit went. It was confirmed that I AM pregnant...after taking two test I had already made that assumption but it was nice to hear it confirmed by a nurse. We were in our room when the nurse came in and told us: 1.) I'm pregnant 2.) I'm about 6 weeks and 4 days and 3.) The baby is due October 26, 2012 ! It was such a relief to finally put a date and time on all of this. Up until that point I had been guessing that I was almost 7 weeks and it was guessed that October 26th would be the due date but again to have it confirmed was very reassuring.
The biggest event at our doctors appointment was getting the first ultrasound. We got to hear the little ones heart beat and see it on the screen. While it is still approx. the size of a piece of rice it's heart beat was so loud and steady I almost fell off the bed in shock. Everyone has asked me if I cried and the answer is no (I think James was about to though) but I did have this rush of falling in love with another human being right there in the room--and I have yet to meet the little one. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. In that moment our little baby became real to us. I can only imagine how much our love will grow each doctors visit.
Look who made it to the fridge! :) You see that spot in the corner of the black circle? That's our little one.
I'm so glad that I had James there with me. I believe that even though we may have hard times where we pick at each other we still make a great team. He balances me out so well. I am more of a "I'm 22 therefore I must learn how to grow up and be an adult" where he is more of "I'm 24 and if I want to be silly still I will!" He makes me laugh so much with the things he says and does. One funny moment at our visit was when we were waiting to get our next appointment scheduled and I turn around to see James weighing himself on the fancy weigher. HA! I tell him to get off the machine and that it isn't a toy and he just looks at me and says "I weigh this much. How much did YOU weigh?" At the moment I was irritated because I just wanted him to act all "mature" but looking back I think I would have been bored without him there and I know he'll make all the visits to come so much better with his humor and carefree attitude. I'm one lucky lady and this little one is going to be blessed with a great and hilarious daddy!
I watched Part I of the last Twilight last night with a couple of girls and the whole time I was thinking: "Man! I wish pregnancy was as quick as what Bella had!" Now if you haven't seen the movie then I apologizing for ruining it for you. Bella gets pregnant on her honeymoon and in a matter of weeks is huge and feeling the baby kick and soon after giving birth. In real life you have to wait NINE months. Now I know it's a miracle that shouldn't be rushed but I'm so excited to meet our little one and I just can't help but think that these next months are going to be so slow.
Well I must go eat something before work tonight. I hope to keep everyone updated and I hope everyone wasn't too bored with the details of our visit. Also, as a quick side note: I never claimed to be amazing at writing so try not to critique anything wrong with my sentence forming.
Sincerely,
Excited Parents
