My long awaited appointment brought about some worry and mild panic when my OB couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. She wasn't overly concerned and told me she would send me for an ultrasound today if I didn't already have one scheduled for tomorrow's 1st trimester screening test. She then offered to send me for one anyway and it turned out they could do our 1st trimester screening today too. So I called Chris and away we went.
And there was our little one, jumping around (maybe from the bean burrito I had for lunch) and s/he had the hiccups! Very cool. S/he was looking right at us at one point. We passed the NT u/s test and have to wait for the blood test results to come back. We got a picture which I'll post on here when I get a chance and some energy. I am still so tired and I think the little bit of worry I had today took the wind out of my sails. Plus I came home and cleaned the bathroom tonight. I also just worked 7 days in a row. Now I'm off for 4 days and have lots to do to get ready for Christmas. Can't believe it's only a week away!
It was really great seeing my OB and FINALLY getting that long awaited OB physical. I never thought I would ever need one of those! My next appointment will be 1/14. At least I know if she can't find the hb, an u/s will be scheduled immediately. Plus I'll be in the main office for my next appt. so if there is a problem I will be able to have an u/s quickly. I wish I could hear the hb on my doppler but I guess I'll just have to be patient for now.

Becky I'm so thrilled for you! I just think the sound of that little heartbeat is just wonderful. It was actually a year ago today that we heard Dylan's for the first time. July is a great time to have a baby!
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that I still keep tabs on you!
