An Amazing Day
Today we had our first doctors appointment with our first ultrasound. We were both sooo nervous and excited, we were a mess. The seconds passing until we could see our little squirrel on the screen were excruciating, and then you could see the little heartbeat flutter. How amazing. She turned on the speakers so we could hear the heartbeat, 169 beats per minute. Super strong. That's our baby!!! The technician said we were 8 weeks 3 days with a due date of October 22. The doctor said she was going to stick with my guesstimation of October 24....not that the dates matter much :)

Words can't describe the amount of excitement I felt today. The nervousness of a healthy heartbeat was All I could think about on the way to the appointment, soon followed by tears of joy when we had our first glimpse of our baby. I can still hear the Dr.s voice, "and there's your little peanut doing a handstand". For one of the few times in my life I was silenced. The only thing I could hear was a heartbeat, 169 to be exact. ITS REAL, and I can't wait. I can't wait to be dad, I can't wait for steph to be a mom and can't want for our parents to become grand parents. I know with this appointment, the worries of a heartbeat shift to a million different things, but It seems a little more clear now and the word US takes on a whole new meaning. I love you babe.
