We have known that we are having a baby for awhile now, but it hasn’t really been real yet. But today we had our 8 week appointment with the doctor. This was a big one because today was the first ultrasound. Up until now, the pregnancy has all been symptoms. Meghan has been nauseous and sick, but really, that could be anything. Sure she’s gotten 6 positive pregnancy tests, but who knows really?

Well, here is the proof!

That little blob with the line through it is our baby!

It’s really hard to describe all the feelings that were going through my head while Meghan was lying on the table. I knew that if there were any major problems with the baby, we’d know very quickly. I was a little nervous but I hadn’t really said anything to her about it, since I didn’t want to freak her out. But when the doc pressed that wand onto her stomach, he very quickly removed any fears I had. He showed us where the head was, pointed out all the signs of a healthy pregnancy, and then we actually got to hear our babies heart beating! I wasn’t expecting to be able to hear that so quickly and it took me by surprise. I was just amazed at what I was seeing and hearing. Meghan kept laughing, which is what she does when she’s excited.

The doc was great. We thought we were excited before but now it’s so much more real!
