Second check up :)

Thursday I had my second doctors apt with my nurse practitioner Carol. The very end of my 8th week. Did the boring stuff like meeting with the billing dept (only to find out that although my insurance is great....they don't cover any "routine" ultrasounds!) That stinks....we'll come up with some cramping or spotting ;) Went through all the history questions etc. Finally Carol said lets go back and see if we can hear anything. So not expecting much, I laid on the table and sure enough, right away there was a miraculous little 145 bpm heartbeat of something that's only an inch long in my belly. I was so suprised to hear it so soon. Tears welled up in my eyes and I wished so badly David could have been there. Not that I had any doubts of this little peanuts existence, but until you physically hear that tiny heart beat, part of you always wonders if there is really a baby growing inside. What an amazing experience! So h0pefully being able to hear it this early means he/she so far is strong and healthy! I go back July 6 for a full exam and blood work. So that's my update! Still tired (especially working nights) and my appetite still leaves a lot to be desired. Nausea is only every once in awhile for short periods. No vomiting!! YEAH!! Miss you all!
