I had my 11 week doctors appointment today. Since Jason missed the first ultrasound, he got out of work early to make it to this one! He couldn't figure out why they schedule an appointment at a certain time, get you settled in the room, and then have you wait for 30 minutes. Oh, it's so nice that he's finally experiencing what we women have to experience EVERY time we go to the obstetrician! Due to boredom, he did educate himself by reading the only magazine available in the room - Conceive Magazine :-)
We got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time today! 161 beats per minute. It was such an amazingly sweet sound. Just another milestone to make it all seem real. Everything else looked good, too. The doctor said that the baby is growing, although I really can't tell yet.
In some ways, I can't wait for these months to pass by, but on the other hand I know that I'll be somewhat sad when they're gone. You only get to experience these things once - first ultrasound, first heartbeat. I guess I'll just try to enjoy all of these moments along the way, and thank God for all of the blessings He's poured out on us!

I hope you read these messages! 161 beats, huh? Sounds like a girl to me. The faster heartbeats are usually girls. That is a fact. I'm sure that Jason enjoyed Conceive Magazine - it's even better when the magazines are ancient, which they usually are!
Enjoy your pregnancy; it's the first time for many things and it's very exciting. Isn't the heartbeat cool? I had problems when I was pregnant with Haley and had to go to the dr. every week, but I didn't mind, because I got to hear that heartbeat every week. I just loved it.
