I can't stop smiling today. I had my first prenatal appointment today and we got to see our baby. It looks like a tiny 1 inch blob in the ultrasound picture but I am totally smitten. The doctor was pointing out arms and legs which I didn't see at all. We could see the heart flickering away though. She said it was beating around 160bpm. Wow. Having the ultrasound made it seem real finally. Ever since taking a pregnancy test I've had this fear of going to the doctor and having them tell me that I'm not actually pregnant. That was my main reason for not wanting to tell everyone yet. Possibly irrational but I can't help that. All I want to do is look at that picture and when I'm not I miss my baby. It's weird to miss something that is growing inside of you but I just want to look at him/her all of the time. I'm completely in love with my baby and it makes all these weeks of feeling miserable worth it.
