The Most Beautiful Sound I've Ever Heard

was my baby's heartbeat this morning!!!!!!! I wasn't supposed to go in until next Thursday. We were concerned that at 6.5 weeks, it could cause too much concern. This morning though, I just had to go in. I've been fine. This morning though I just kept thinking about how could I make the choice to not know? I was already dressed for school, had mismatched socks on under my boots (lovely for my u/s) and haven't shaved my legs in forever. My RE laughed at me when she patted my leg and told me she had the heartbeat already and I apologized profusely for my fur.

My little nitta.ny lio.n is measuring right on target (a first at this stage for me) and has a heartbeat of 130BPM! :)

    This is so wonderful and I am so excited for you that I am grinning from ear to ear! I squealed when I read this!!!! I have been thinking about you so much, and my internet has been down for 2 weeks, so I am only able to access the internet from my phone. I couldn't access your blog from my phone because blogger only shows me a few blogs at a time, so I tried to look you up on goo.gle, but your blog isn't listed. Anyway, I am back up and running again with the internet, and I am so thrilled for you!!!!!!!
