I saw the baby!!!


Sorry that I haven't written in a while!! Here's what's been happening!


I had my first ultrasound last week along with lots of other tests at the Corniche Hospital. This is the hospital where Josh and I plan to deliver the baby. I was a bit freaked out at first because it is a local hospital and I felt a bit out of place. I always pictured that my visit would be a bit more private. I was ushered into a room filled with other preggo women and in front of all of them you had to get weighed and your blood pressure taken. I think it was the first time I'd ever had to do that in a public setting - well I guess weight watchers! :) Anyway...I met with a midwife that was wonderful and she made me feel right at ease. Unfortunately I am hypothyroid so I have to meet with a doctor throughout my pregnancy and not the midwife. The doctor I saw set me up for the ultrasound the same day! I went in a drank lots of water and then my name was called...I thought...this is it! I finally get to see it!! She squirted the jelly on and placed the wand on my tummy and oh my GOD there it was!! She said, "There is your baby!" Then the heartbeat...then the tears! It was one of the most happy moments in my life.
