First Drs visit

First Doctors appointment was made for Thursday, October 28th. Normally they won't due an ultrasound at the first visit but due to the nature of my cycle they decided that one was necessary to see how far along I actually was. Corwin and I arrive at the doctors office and we go back for the ultrasound. Expecting to see only an embryo, with only the start of arms, legs, fingers and toes. Boy were we surprised when the ultrasound started! Up on the screen appears arms, legs, fingers and toes! All fairly well developed. With a look of disbelief I look over at the technician and ask, "How far along am I?" "I'm getting about 11 weeks 4 days." "Whoa baby, that's a lot farther than we thought, isn't?" I ask Corwin. "Yea, it is..wow..." is his response. Then the technician focuses on the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. The heartbeat. It is indescribable the feeling of hearing the heartbeat for the first time. Looking down at your belly and realizing what's happening in there. Also, some great news, the heartbeat is a very strong 164 beats per minute!

We then meet our Doctor, Dr. Danielle Dion. We are seriously impressed by this first meeting. She is open, honest and very real. We liked her from the moment she walked in the door. Can't wait for the next visit!
