One Trimester Down- 2 to Go!

Our last dr. appointment before we tell the family about our little secret.

This dr. appointment was very nerve racking. The nurse came in tried the doppler again and was unsuccessful. Since we were at 13 weeks- we should hear the heartbeat by now. So she asked a second nurse to come in. The wait for the second nurst to come in was horrible. Simon was pale. I was nervous, but was pretty confident because I knew how sick I had been feeling.

The second nurse finally came in and tried for several minutes and finally we have it A HEARTBEAT. Simon jumped out of the chair high enough to dunk a basketball! Wow what an experience.... to hear this little heartbeat just a working and it is not your own. Simon began to high five the nurses and we could rest a little easier.

The dr. finally came in because she was doing a delivery- poor baby- Christmas birthday's stink! let me tell you. The dr. felt pretty confident that even though we had some problems at the beginning we were well on our way to being parents. She thought our "big reveal" should go off without a hitch. But she had even more news for us as well. Our next appointment would be in about 4 weeks, however if we pushed it back a couple of days we could have the anatomy ultrasound then and not have to wait even longer. Simon and I were all over that! So we were able to make our next appointment for Jan. 27th

I will update more in a bit, I have to return to work now!
