13 week visit

so i went to the doctor today. i was expecting another terrible visit with the dreaded snap-front robe. instead, the nurse said he would only listen for the heartbeat today! wooohooo!

it sounded like galloping horses. very, very fast. "too fast to be yours" is what the doctor said.

before he came in all i could think about was how concerned i would be if we couldn't hear it. it was in that moment that i realized how much i want this. and how devastated i would be if something were to happen.

i will go back on april fourth for my 16 week visit. he won't do another ultrasound until 24 weeks. he said that usually you can tell the sex at 20 weeks...but that at 24, you can see the brain, the heart, the spine, etc. and that he likes to make sure all the organs look good. so here's to...12 more weeks of not knowing if "plus one" is a girl or boy.

and like clint always says...i really don't care. more than anything else...our prayer is for a healthy baby.

have a great weekend...
