We had our first appointment yesterday, and it was awesome. We got to see Peanut on a little handheld "Game Boy Ultrasound," as DH described it, then hear the HB (172!!) on doppler. We weren't expecting an u/s until the anatomy scan since I know the practice doesn't do a "real" one except in the case of problems or if you're unsure of your dates. It was so cool seeing the little munchkin kicking in there! We were also worried it could be too early to hear the heartbeat at 9w3d, so that was reassuring, especially since my symptoms have been so mild.
I think we love our midwife, too. We actually have 3 who work as a team and rotate on-call, so we only met one, but she was great. She spent over an hour with us between going over my medical history, doing her spiel, answering all of our questions perfectly, and the exam and u/s.
Anyway, just wanted to share - there's actually a person in there!
