The day of my first OB appointment. I was prepared for all the questions, the urine test, the blood tests, the epic list of stuff you can and can't eat. I anxiously waded through it all, not really thinking anything was real, until the doctor rolled in the ultrasound to check the age of the baby.
In the dark, with 'the wand.'
Dr. G: "There is your baby!
Dr. C: "Oh my gosh, really?"
It was, perhaps the highest high. To see the little kidney shaped nub, its little heart beating away inside of me, was simply the best. The weeks of worry finally melted away and I felt pregnant, I felt like a mom. I can't tell you how many times Dr. R and I looked at this blurry, back and white photo and felt like Christmas came a little early.
