1st Doctors Appointment

Monday, September 10th we had our very first doctors appointment to see the baby for the first time and make sure everything is going good. The appointment was quite routine asking me all my previous history with the boys pregnancy and all my conditions I had with them as well as the annual exam, blood work, etc. Then came the most exciting moment seeing the baby! She did a transvaginal ultrasound because at 8 weeks she would be able to get a better look at baby rather than over my tummy. She found the baby within seconds moving well twitching around in there. :) It was the best feeling in my heart all over again! She measured him/her from rump to head and he/she measured exactly 8 weeks which was perfect because I was exactly 8 weeks on that day, Every Monday I change weeks just like before with the boys :) She gave us a few pictures then we got to hear the heartbeat and Shauna even asked if we could hear it again after the 1st time, it was such an amazing sound to hear. That there is this little person inside thriving on my every move and was just as innocent as ever could be. The heart rate was 167 bpm which is pretty high so if we follow the old wives tales it says its a girl hehe I'm hoping hoping! My next appointment is in 4 weeks Oct 8th and we are going to an ultrasound place in a week just to see the little one again.
