It was funny because after going over my charts and asking me a few questions, and before even mentioning the word "heartbeat" she asked me how lucky I was feeling today. Knowing what she was implying I responded with a big smile on my face "Really lucky!" She then replied with a friendly but accusing look, as if she knew my nervous tendancies, "Ok, but are you going to be nervous if we don't hear anything? You're still a touch early to hear the heartbeat." Of course I said I wouldn't be nervous (slight lie). Then I looked at Brad who was covering his mouth and laughing because of all people, he knows how nervous I get about even the littlest things. We all kind of giggled and she went to get her magic wand.
Its safe to say that there's definitely a baby growing inside my belly and we definitely heard the 173bpm heartbeat. Brad compared it to the sound of Moose panting after a good run. Ha!
It was such a surreal moment. I wanted to laugh, cry and burst at the seams with happiness. There's really a baby growing inside of me! eeee!
On another baby related note, I'm going to start my monthly belly pictures on Wednesday, which marks my 12th week. I can't believe I'm almost out of my first trimester!
On a non-baby related note, we decided that we're going to redo our kitchen on the cheap, to tie us over until we have more time/savings to knock down walls, pick out fancy cabinets and counters, etc. But, we have a pretty good plan and we're excited to finally have a more functional kitchen.
Here are the realtor befores - before we even moved in...
