The Beat Goes On...

This has been an extremely long month since my last doctor's appointment. I have been worried that we make it to this one and hear the heartbeat. James and I arrived at my doctors and nerves were at their peak for both of us. I graded tests while I waited to keep myself from worrying. When we were called back, the doctor got right to work. The baby was where it should have been in my stomach, and then came the Doppler. A Doppler is a machine used for expectant parents to hear their baby's heartbeat. As soon as she put the machine on my belly we heard whoosh whoosh whoosh (the heartbeat). I had my eyes closed because I couldn't take it. She felt around some more ( to make sure there were no more in there). James wanted to hear it again, so she found the baby and we heard the whoosh whoosh whoosh again. While we were listening, we heard a thud. I guess the baby did not like the fact that someone was feeling around, because the doctor said the thud was the baby kicking.
When we left the office, I gave James the biggest hug and we just Thanked God for the blessing growing inside of me.

Upset Stomach

This morning is the first day I threw up. After I left the gym, I was on my way to my Mom's house and I did not feel so good. I decided to try to eat a little something, but that did not work. Next thing I knew I'm on the side of the road throwing up. How yummy!
