After finding out I was pregnant, I made my first OB appointment. Since my mom works there, he saw me even though I was early. So we did the first day thing: spoke with the doctor, he answered questions, then the ultrasound. We saw the amniotic sac and that was it. I was a little disappointed, for per my last period I was 5-6 weeks and should be able so see something more. I asked him if I was definitely pregnant, and, of course the answer was "yes."
He wanted to see me back in a week and a day. I would be around 5 1/2 weeks and should see more. So, Friday the 13th we went to the doctor and I was so hopeful. We saw the amniotic sac plus the yolk sac this time. So, everything looked normal and good, but still no speck with a heartbeat. Again, I was a little disappointed. I really wanted to see the heartbeat. I prayed and prayed about it and know that God is teaching me patience. So, he wanted to see me back Tuesday the 17th.
I really felt good about Tuesday. It was not near as long a wait as the week before, so I was pumped. I kept talking to my speck saying, "Mommy really wants to see your heartbeat. Please just let me see it!" And, we did. We got some pictures and I finally got the diaper bag with all the goodies in it. I told William I would feel good about telling people after we saw the heartbeat, so we started telling coworkers, friends and so on... This has been the best week ever (so far)... well besides the nausea and running to the bathroom every 20 minutes (oh well, might as well get used to it I suppose!).
