Great day!

Today was AWESOME!!! There is nothing better than hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time!!! Dr G said to me, "I will try and see if we hear the heart beat but you are really early, I normally don't try to hear in until around 10 or 11 weeks." I am 8 w 6 d along. So she put the cold jelly on my belly and gave it a try. It took her about 30 seconds which felt like 10 years to find it, but once she did it was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was super fast so she said that was GREAT and that I should be safe since we heard the heartbeat, but she couldn't promise me that everything would be ok, but she felt good about it! I think the stats are sometime like once you hear the heartbeat you only have about a 5% chance of losing the baby. I am hoping that our last baby was the 5% and not this one too. I felt like someone lifted 1000 pounds off my shoulders while I was walking out of of the building. So only 4 more weeks of worrying and then everything should be good after that next appointment. I am so EXCITED! I am kind of starting to finally believe that just maybe this one might be for real! After losing the baby I have a hard time actually believing that this pregnancy is for real and that a baby will actually come from this. That I won't just gain some weight, feel like crap for 10 weeks and then nothing to show for it except 3 ultrasound pictures of what looked like a perfect 8 w baby.

Side note: Lissie just came down the stairs with her stroller and baby doll wearing her SNOWSUIT!!!! I asked why she is wearing it and she said, "Because I want to!" I guess if she wants to she is more then welcome to wear it. She is so PRECIOUS!
