So we had our first Midwife appointment last Thursday and it went great! We got to talk to our midwife Lorri for awhile and we basically just went over my medical history and any questions we had so far. She is just a sweet lady. I feel so comfortable with her already! She is so easy to talk to and I already feel so much trust and confidence in her. So towards the end of the appointment she asked if we wanted to try and hear the baby's heartbeat w/the Doppler?! Of course! I knew that there was a chance that we may not find the baby just because it's still so little but what if we could? I had brought along our little video camera just in case. So Gerald recorded while Lorri tried to and eventually found our baby's heartbeat! It was the most amazing sound! I knew the second I heard it, it was the sound of love. Not only did we find it but it was super strong! Lorri was almost as excited as we were, she told all the ladies in the office, "We got to hear the baby!" when we went out. All in all it was an amazing first appointment and it really made me feel like all that I have been going through, physically and emotionally, has been so worth it! I feel so lucky, not only am I creating life but I'm doing it with the most amazing and supportive husband and family!
Next up are blood tests and more appointments!! I'll continue to keep you posted!
