The Beat Goes On

So my Ben has been joking with me the last few weeks that he's not convinced that I'm pregnant. Yea, so all the vomiting over the toilet was all for fun and games! On Monday, March 12th, Ben came with me to my 12 week appointment, his very first appointment. It was short but he and I both got to hear the baby's heartbeat over the monitor for the very first time. I think that it really hit him when he heard the baby's heartbeat. It was beating so fast! It was so amazing! I can't believe that a machine can detect it. So the other shocker was that the doctor told us that we could find out the sex in 6 weeks! April 25th is the day!!! So yes... I believe that Ben's convinced we're pregnant! He was happy all day long!

How did that peanut get in there?

On Valentine's Day, I received my first ultrasound pictures of the tiny little peanut. Actually at 8 weeks, it's not even as big as a peanut, more like a rasberry. So I'm a little late posting the picture up since as of right now I'm 11 weeks and 2 days along. The cool part was that the ultrasound tech can measure the size of the baby and also tell me exactly how old he/she is. It was exactly one day off what my doctor had said, so that's pretty darn accurate! The heartbeat was healthy and it's amazing that you could even see it on the ultrasound, it was a beating little dot. Everything is still a secret...haven't told anyone besides very close family members. I have an appointment on Monday, March 12th so I'm excited to see if everything is still ok. It's the most nerve wracking thing! You never know... I hear all these horror stories. Well like my friend Jessica says, I shouldn't worry because there's nothing to worry about!
