First Dr. Appt

Chris and I went to our First Dr appt yesterday, but apparently this appt was only to confirm that I am pregnant and I had to schedule another appt in 3 weeks for a full exam. However, after talking to the Dr. about my severe nausea, various spotting and cramping she decided to do an ultrasound to check on the little peanut. The ultrasound tech said everything looked great! Looked like a little blob to Chris and I vs. a little baby. However, she was able to zoom in and see the heartbeat and we were able to hear the heartbeat. The heartbeat was 124 bpm, she said anything over 120 is good. And apparently being able to see and hear the heartbeat reduces the risk of miscarriage significantly and the Dr. felt more comfortable with us sharing the pregnancy news with our family and friends. Our next appt is Sept 13.

PS I had a dream last night that Chris and I are having a little boy, so thats is my guess....for now.

My little baby is having a baby. That's so sweet. I can't wait to have a grandchild that I can see, hold, kiss, cuddle, play with, babysit and love everyday. Don't panic, I promise not to visit everyday. I'm so happy for all of us and for Joanna & Preston as this will be your very first grandchild. It's a wonderful thing. I love you both so much.
