Be Still My Beating Heart

We went to the doc's today for my regular visit. We started off the day thinking Ryan wasn't going to be able to come, but because I had a feeling we would get to hear the heartbeat- I really wanted him there. So the love that he is worked it out so he could leave work early and come with me! We had the regular check up and the doc said I should start feeling better in a couple of weeks. And then we went to the ultra sound room and after a long wait, heard the baby's little heart beating! Can you believe that it was 178 bpm!? Amazing! We could even see it moving around a little! I could've sat there all day and listened to it! Too bad it was just for like 45 seonds.
It's such a miracle thought and I feel so fortunate to have this experience even though at times (like yesterday and today) I feel like doodoo! It's worth it just knowing what I get to be doing! So, so far the baby is healthy, moving and growing and developing! This is good news! Yay for our little peanut!

I'm hoping you meant bpm and not bps...because if the baby has 170+ bps, you'll be giving birth to a humming bird... :)

I agree with the above comment, the floating baby is creepy.

Hearing the heartbeat, watching the ultrasound, and seeing my babies cry for the first time cause such a strong physical reaction in my body. I get all weepy and turn to mush. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything!
