10 weeks, 11 weeks, 12 weeks... No one knows!!

Today I had my first Dr's appointment which included the whole works... check weight, height, blood pressure, physical exam, blood work, etc.

I've been excited about this appointment for weeks now for ONE THING! Listening to the baby's heartbeat for the very first time!!! I always looked forward to my Dr appointments with Brady. They were always so exciting for me... listening to the heart beat, seeing the ultrasounds or just the reassurance that, Yes. He is still in there! and Yes. He is healthy!!

So we're meeting with our Dr, Dr. Hutchins and she lifts of my sheet to check out my baby bump and she says, "Well you do have a little bump already! I think you could be further along than 10 1/2 weeks!" She measures me at 12 weeks, but we're still not quite sure how far along I am or what our due date will be. I will be going in for an ultrasound in two weeks! July 30th... we will solve the mystery!! How far along am I?????

Next, we get to listen to the most beautiful first sounds of our pregnancy... the little pitter patter of the heartbeat. It was only there for a split second but we did make out a strong, fast, steady heartbeat. He or She decided to hide for the rest of the exam, we think behind the placenta. But there was indeed a heartbeat and that's the important thing!
