First things first... This morning we saw our baby's heart beat! It was the most beautiful little flutter, but very strong. I didn't even have to have the Dr. point it out to me. It was tiny, but right there. It was amazing. When I got the phone call saying I was pregnant... that was incredible, but still abstract. When I was told the HCG levels were right on track... what a relief. Seeing the first ultrasound... a bit less abstract. Seeing the heartbeat... THERE'S A BABY IN THERE!!! LOL It's no longer abstract, its real! Dr. Shamma was very sweet. He gave us a real Congratulations and said "You did it, Kelly!" Ha. Of course, I was thinking... No Dr. Shamma you did it. LOL. Dr. Shamma also said what we were all thinking, "Thank you God." I am still keeping my guard up a little knowing that we are still in the miscarriage danger zone, but seeing the heart beat gives us a lot of hope and joy!
As far as a due date. My calculations based on the date of conception was June 3rd. Dr. Shamma didn't mention a due date yet, but the ultrasound gives an estimated due date based on the size. The date given by the ultrasound was also June 3rd. So I'm saying that our EDD is June 3, 2010!
And I have to take a moment to brag on Nathan. Last night I babysat a friend's baby for a couple hours. When I came home, my wonderful husband had the house clean, Harry Connick Jr playing, candles lit, and a card and gift on the table for me. I have a book Your Pregnancy Week by Week that gives Dad tips, one being "Buy your wife gifts through out her pregnancy." I read this to Nathan, teasing him... but he was a good boy and took the tip! If he keeps that up... we should have a very enjoyable pregnancy. :)
