Galloping horses!

I had my first OB appointment yesterday. I was sooo nervous. I didn't know what was going to happen or what they were going to do, and I had this fear in the back of my mind that the doctor would look and there'd be no baby. I've heard stories of women who were pregnant but when they went in for the first ultrasound, there was no yolk sac or no heart beat.

The appointment wasn't so bad. My parents came along in case we were going to see or hear the heartbeat. The ultrasound was the first thing the doctor did. She said, "We're gonna put this wand in you." and I was like, "Wait, what? In?" Chandler was worried that it wasn't clean, but I said that I was more concerned about where it was going. However, it didn't hurt. Just felt weird. But we saw our baby. <3 Perfectly implanted. Based on the size 7 weeks, 1 day. We heard our baby. Nice, strong heartbeat of 160 BPM. Sounded like horses galloping. I cried. My mom cried. I couldn't even believe it.

Before we even left the office, I posted the ultrasound pic on Facebook, along with this status update:

"So, I went to the doctor, peed in 2 cups (and on my hand), filled 8 vials of blood, had a few different things stuck up my vagina, and then this."

Chandler started calling him or her "jelly bean". <3

I can't stop looking at that picture.
