I was a complete ball of nerves going into my 1st ultrasound Thurs. morning.
As I saw in the waiting room waiting for my turn I was on the verge of tears. The anxiety was killing me and I was so nervous something would be wrong with our little Baby B.
The technician was an older lady and was very sweet. Needless to say that didn't take away from my shock when I found it was an internal ultrasound. Not a fun surprise.
So we get down to business and she's moving the thing around, snapping pictures and my insides are DYING to know what's going on. I patiently wait.
She asks if I'm sure about my due date (I am) which of course freaked me out is there something wrong??? She continued chatting politely while she did her thing. Some of it was odd including telling me I had beautiful ovaries - good to know! Then she talked about how many times I'd get to see baby B again (which I course read into as there's nothing obvious wrong). She said she could see the heartbeat and it was 173 beats per min. A strong heartbeat! Go B go! Then it happened.... she turned the screen around so I could see. I think my heart stopped for a second and I'm sure I stopped breathing. On the screen I saw a perfect little gummy bear! A head, body, two nubs for arms and another two nubs for legs! OUR BABY!!!!!! She pointed out the yolk sac and confirmed that baby is growing in my uterus (calming any insecurities about an ectopic pregnancy). I could have looked at that screen all day.
Unfortunately, Brent couldn't be there AND they wouldn't give me a picture OR let me take one with my cell phone! I was soooooooooo disappointed :( I was dying to share pictures with Brent and everyone else on the planet. But alas, it was a go no.
My doctor should have the results in 3 business days, hoping everything is all good but I already feel better knowing our baby has a strong heartbeat and is super cute!! I could be biased ;)
Until next time....
