Baby's 1st pic

Today was our 1st real-deal OB visit. We had to be there at 1:30, so needless to say, I literally walked in from work and we hit the road. Everything went great. I am officially 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and our little peanut has the sweetest heartbeat we've ever heard. Yep, we heard the heartbeat today. My nurse said she wanted to give it a try since I am so small. Dr. Stern was betting that she wouldn't find it, but she surely did! He was very surprised. Erik and I were just there for the ride. I was expecting an ultrasound today, but they were thinking that they were just going to do one so that they could make sure the baby had a heartbeat. Well, after hearing the heartbeat, the ultrasound was "off." So, with my pitiful little voice, I asked, "Are you not going to do an ultrasound?" He said, "Well it really isn't necessary now that we've heard the heartbeat, usually you can't hear it this soon." Ha! During my blood work he managed to work me in. They had a new machine today and were running a little behind, but I didn't mind the wait. It was so worth it. Everything went great!
