On this day it was my moms (Grandma Suzi's) birthday
On her birthday we took her to our Dr appointment where we would hear the
baby's heartbeat.. I am not a small girl by any means and I had been told I might be to big to hear the heartbeat so not to panic.. and of course what did I do the whole time
worry & panic that since I might not hear it something could be wrong..
When our OBGYN came in with the hand held Doppler to hear the heartbeat my heart sunk. I got really scared. when she started out you couldn't hear anything it felt like she was doing this for 5 minutes but in reality it was less than 1... Then all of a sudden .. we heard the baby's heart beat I instantly sighed with relief. It sounded strong and steady, not to fast not to slow and the dr said it was a very healthy heartbeat... I wasn't able to see Dave or my moms face when we heard it but afterwards the giant smiles from ear to ear was a great sign to see two people so excited.
About 4 weeks before this appointment I was blessed with have just a check up but Dave couldn't make it.. This was the only appointment he has missed and he is still upset he did. My Ob brought in the hand held ultrasound device and I got to see my baby. it was incredible I instantly started to cry because it didn't look like a big blob anymore it looked like a baby and that was an amazing feeling. So then at this appointment on the 30th hearing the heartbeat completed things for me... I was excited for this journey we were embarking on just had gotten 10x more real...
It was blessing and a milestone we will never forget!!
