I was laying on the exam table in the doctor's office and Dr. Lemont was running the Doppler machine over my belly. "There is your heartbeat," she said as a steady thumping came through the machine. There was some extra noise as she moved the wand around and then all of a sudden there was another thumping, not quite as low pitched as my heartbeat, but much faster. My hands flew to my mouth and tears poured from my eyes as Dr. Lemont said, "And there is your baby's heartbeat!"
The story of my doctor's visit does nothing to describe the feeling in my heart! I have a tiny 2-inch long baby in my tummy. It's heart is beating, it has fingers, toes, knees and elbows, it is producing digestive juices, it has teeth buds and this week the baby is growing hair follicles!!! All of this in just 11 weeks! It is incredible!!! Our due date in June 8, 2010 and Dan and I are so excited to welcome our first baby into this world!!!
