*** WE HEARD A HEARTBEAT! ***
So there really is a baby in there! I think I had some doubts before today, but I heard a heartbeat, and Chris heard it too! It was amazing. I will never forget that sound! It made me feel all tingly all over!
The doctor said it was highly unlikely to hear the heartbeat this early, but we may as well try. 2 seconds later… “ba-bump-ba-bump-ba-bump”… realllly fast. He said “is there any chance you have your dates off a bit?” (I’m almost certain of the dates). He said “well maybe there’s more than one in there” (Triplets run in my family – cousins of my Nana).
Wouldn’t that be amazing?! Well all I’m asking for is one, but if there’s more than one, that’d be awesome too! (or “two”… haha.. ha.. ahem… does pregnancy make you tell lame jokes too, doc?)
I am going for an ultrasound and blood work next week. That’ll be exciting!!!
And the race is on! I’m more than a quarter of the way through my pregnancy now!
