My first appointment!


Well, I was so very excited about this first appointment. I was really hoping that we would be able to hear the heart beat. According to my LMC I am 10 weeks and 1 day. So I should be able to hear the heart beat.

The one thing I was apprehensive about was the midwife I was scheduled to see. I found out that she is a lesbian. (EEEKKK!) I think Miguel was more nervous than I was. LOL, but she was really professional, of course. Anyhow. Abby was there and I asked if we could try to hear the heart beat, The midwife said of course. But we couldn't find the HB. She said I had a tipped uterus and so the baby wasn't close to the wall of my stomache. But for peace of mind I can have a u/s if I'd like. Well I wasn't going to say no to that. So we later went for our first u/s. Grandma Dinnie and Papo Steve came and got Abby, there was a few hours in between until my u/s so the came and took her to the planetarium museum. She of course had a fantastic time. She also went to McDonalds and then caught snowflakes with her mouth with her Papo. She wasn't interested in coming back for the u/s. So Miguel and I went by ourselves. The Tech found the baby instantly, our little June Bug was moving all over. According to the u/s I was 10 weeks and 6 days. Out little JuneBug measured at 4 cm. and his HB was 174 bpm. Amazing! The Tech was super nice and took his time. He put all the pictures and video clips on a cd for us since we couldn't record it with our camera. I was filled with emotion and laughter just watch my little baby moving around. It looked like he was dancing. (I say he, but I don't know yet). It was so neat to see how perfect he was, you could see what everything was. My favorite part is in one of the video clips, you can seem him roll over and then cross his little legs and then you see to little perfect feet crossed! Adoreble and simply miraculous! God is so amazing! I have my next appointment on December 13 with the same midwife!!!!

What does being "L" have to do with being a good doctor? J/K Just being political...lol. The video was amazingly clear. I just can't wait to meet this little person.
