10 weeks, 5 days

Only about a week left of my first trimester! Woohoo!! I can't even begin to describe the excitement I feel about this. I'm ALMOST bouncing off the walls...except I can't bounce without getting sick so... :)

We went to the Dr. yesterday. I almost died in the waiting room (45 minutes...grrr). The appointment we had yesterday was literally the same appointment that we had back in November when we realized we had a miscarriage. We went in to hear the heartbeat, couldn't on the doppler, were sent to get an ultrasound and then we were told there was no heartbeat and we had miscarried. (that was the last one, not this one) This one we did backwards, ultrasound then Dr. So, as mentioned above, waited in the u/s waiting room for 45 minutes, scared to death...in fact my first words to the tech were "I'm really nervous, can we please get this over with?" To which she nervously laughed. Anyway, all said and done, we saw (and heard) a beautiful heartbeat and got some great pictures of the baby (which I'll post as soon as I can figure out how to use the scanner). The Dr. is very pleased with the progress, he says all things look good for a late January/early Feb delivery. The only odd thing is that the baby keeps measuring just a little off but the Dr. seems to think this is normal, so we're not worried.

Next appointment is on August 7 and it should just be a normal checkup. We're SO looking forward to the baby!
