I had my first OB appointment this morning and I was very excited to finally hear the heartbeat. I am only 10 weeks and the doctor couldn't get the heartbeat on the doppler- sometimes they are just to little to pickup. I was pretty bummed. My doctor only does one ultrasound at 20 weeks- which is when you find out the sex and most insurance companies only pay for 1 ultrasound. Lucky for me- my husband happens to be a doctor. He knew I was bumming so he asked he attending (the doctor he reports to) if I could come down the the clinic that day and get an ultrasound since he was there anyway. His attending didn't mind a bit and I got to go right in and have Jimmy give the ultrasound. It was neat for it to just be Jimmy and I in the room looking at our tiny babe on the screen. We took a few pics and then I was on my way! It was just a relief to see the baby and to know that yep- there is really one in there!

I can already tell this little gunner is cute :) Glad you get to see the baby and hear the heartbeat, there isn't anything like it! Are you feeling any better?
I didn't know Jimmy got to do it! What an amazing opportunity and what a beautiful thing that it was just the two of you seeing your baby for the first time! What a blessing!
this is SO exciting!!! I wish we lived closer... you're going to be the cutest prego girl ever. Hope you're feeling well!
