Is that a heartbeat, you ask? Why, yes! Yes it is! :heart :heart :heart :heart :heart

Am I happy, you ask? Why, yes! Yes I am! :woot :woot :woot :woot :woot

Yeah, I was pretty nervous. I was starting to have anxiety attacks even. Not good. And the thing is, I felt pretty good on the whole. I felt calm and confident that this baby was going to be okay. But it’s the experience. The whole ultrasound event that has me spooked. Understandably so. K stayed pretty calm until we got in the room with the u/s machine, then he was pretty nervous too. And, seriously, what’s the first thing we saw? Other than the blob that is the baby of course. The :heart. There it was, thudding away strong and true.

And it looked so good. SO GOOD. And we got pictures and K even admonished the u/s screen saying “You stay in there and keep that heart beating now!” We both left there feeling LOADS better.

I even got my next appointment switched. Instead of next Thursday, it’s now on January 3rd, which is more reasonable. We figure we’ll start telling people after the third ultrasound on January 17th. That should be safe, right?
