How was your doctor's appointment today? Did you get to see the little bean??
Re: ::sarah1017::
It went so good, thanks for asking! I was freaking out because the lady took like 5-7 minutes (which felt like 12 hours) to like get everything situated and show us the picture. She had ZERO type of reaction on her face so I was convinced she couldn't see anything, or something was wrong. I was totally panicking. But then all was well and she showed us the baby
Turns out I'm further along than I thought ... 9w1d, and everything is right on track! New EDD is 1/30/12, so it's no longer super bowl weekend, although I'm sure I'll go into labor right around kickoff super bowl sunday. I figure that can be my ultimate payback to my sports-loving family and husband for making me sit through endless hours of football each year. haha
Yeah, they had me measuring 3 days behind at my 1st u/s -- even though I knew when I ovulated.
And it feels like an eternity when they are looking/listening for the baby. I felt like that at my 16 week appointment when she had to search for the heartbeat on the doppler. I am sure it was only like 15 seconds, but it felt like minutes! I don't think that feeling ever really goes away. I can feel the baby now, but some days I worry when I haven't felt the baby move and I'll concentrate on it until I feel something since the movement is still so subtle.
Andy asked me not to go into labor on a Sunday because he is a HUGE Lions fan. I hope I go into labor on a Sunday.
I'm so glad everything went well. Does it feel real yet?? I mean, more real than the exhaustion, nausea, and bloating...
Yes, it finally feels real! It's still kind of surreal to think that a baby is inside of me, but I feel very reassured now - but I'm certain the worry won't go away, really ever. Relieved at this point though that at least the first appointment went well!
That's funny about the Sunday labor - I read today that Providence Park has flat screens in all their rooms, probably just for men like our H's lol
I can guarantee you I won't be watching Lion's football while I am in labor. As if it isn't going to painful enough, please don't make me watch that, too! I think I will have to pull the I-am-pushing-a-baby-out-of-me-so-I-call-the-shots card on that one.
