Dear New Baby
I got to hear your heartbeat for the very first time today. By our calculations, we are at 10 weeks, and Dr. Lown said somewhere between 10 and 12 weeks, the heartbeat should be able to be heard, so it was POSSIBLE but not necessarily going to happen. He listened around in there for a bit and then, on my right side, down low, we found your heartbeat! It was in the 170s, so very fast! He says everything is looking good, so I'm very happy. I do feel bad, I didn't have your daddy come in to hear it too. I figured they would do the whole exam and that he wouldn't be able to come anyway so now I feel bad. I suppose if he wants to hear it, next time he can come. It's a very exciting sound to hear.
Mommy is still feeling sick and sometimes SO tired. But it's to be expected and there's not much to do about it. The only symptom that is different with you so far is that I have been getting headaches. Julie never gave me any headaches, even less than when I'm not pregnant. Not that it's your fault, of course. It happens to a lot of people. It's just no fun when you are already dealing with other stuff. But all this other stuff SHOULD be going away soon... or at least I hope! We'll see.
To celebrate, we went to Potbelly's for lunch and I had some baked Cheetos and a smoothie. Probably not a GOOD choice since I have been feeling fat and gross lately. Oh well, time to get back on my walking regiment ;)
Love you, and so excited I got to listen to your little heart for the very first time!!!
Love,
Mommy
