The appointment was amazing, and having the opportunity to see our baby up on the screen was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. Up until this point, it hasn't really seemed real. I mean, I knew the morning sickness was real, and I knew that I felt pregnant, but I hadn't had the chance to see this amazing life that was growing inside of me.
We are very early on in our pregnancy, only two months to be exact, but the doctor sounded very optimistic and said that our baby looked wonderful. I tend to believe that "wonderful" doesn't do justice to our baby. Only 8 weeks old in the womb, and already our kid is PERFECT. The heartbeat was 158 beats per minute, which is perfect, and baby measured the exact length that they are supposed to be for this stage in our pregnancy. I am so excited to watch our baby grow!
It will be a while before we find out whether we are having a boy or a girl, but I already feel so attached. It was amazing to hear and SEE the heartbeat from my baby while we were at the doctor today. It was the most magical sound I have ever heard in my life. I would give anything just to bottle that moment and carry it with me forever. I cried like a baby.
I am so excited that we are in the last month of the first trimester. That means that we are nearing the end of morning sickness, and nearing the end of the rough part of the pregnancy and moving into the fun part. I can start shopping for baby things, decorating the nursery and getting ready for Baby Wittman to join us. The next 7 months are going to be amazing... and I can't wait for the lifetime with our baby that follows :) God is pretty amazing, huh? :)
