Finally today arrived. I was so nervous going into this appointment. I wanted desperately to hear things were going well, but I could not have been prepared for things to go this well. The baby is developing and they measured the baby at 6 weeks and 6 days. This is a little further than they suspected last time. Due date is projected to be September 14th. I would guess a few days earlier than that, but time will tell.
Then in the doctor's routine, he turned on the monitors and we heard the most beautiful beating heart you could ever have hoped for. Finally I stopped the doctor's chatter to listen. I asked him if that was my baby's heart beat. My baby was alive and healthy and the heart was flickering away and the monitors read a strong heart beat pulsing away. Relief and thankfulness filled me. Andy is still in awe when he talks about it. It's truly amazing.
After the exam, we were informed that since my body is working on it's own that we no longer need to be with a specialist. The doctor fully anticipates a healthy pregnancy and we are taking a referral to a regular OB in a little more than a week.
