So, we went to the doctor yesterday, we heard the baby’s heartbeat via a Doppler microphone thingy (I’m so technical) and I cried. (I’m such a wimp.) It took awhile for the Doc to find the heartbeat and we were worried at first. We’ve been worried all along about miscarriage, so I think our worry was quite justifiable. And the whole thing was overwhelming for me when I did hear it. Like I said, I cried. Of course my hubby made some joke about it not taking much to make me cry (damn, truth-telling, jokesters). Also, The Doc said that at this point, hearing the heartbeat and considering how far along I am, the chance of miscarriage drops from about 15% to about 1%. That’s totally awesome news. I am so excited.

Next appointment we get to see the little one. Not sure if sex will be visible by then. I’m a bit curious to know. Since my brain is all a flitter with this new experience, I’m going to need some help getting back focused on my course work.  Wish me luck.
