Well, How About That?

I had my appointment this morning with my new midwives. After the usual weigh in and pee in a cup business, we sat down for a LONG medical history discussion. They were just wonderful- teared up in all the right spots, laughed at my lame jokes, etc. After all was said, one of them said to me, "Well, why don't we take a little peak in there today." I was shocked and afraid. I did not expect to have a sonogram this morning. She rolled in the machine and I got friendly with the probe and......

THERE IS A REAL LIVEBABY IN THERE!


It was bouncing around and most importantly had a beating heart. Who knows what the future holds, but today is a good day.

Yay for impromptu ultrasounds! I hate having to ask for them so when they offer them up it's wonderful.
