I had an amazing OB/GYN appointment yesterday. They did the first sonogram and I saw our little for the first time in black and white. I could see the heart beating and it took my breath away. I kind of had to hold myself together as the nurse pointed everything out and we listened to the heartbeat. It was strong and steady.
I admit that I’ve had some trouble believing that I was actually (finally!) pregnant. Sure I’ve been exhausted and nauseous, two big pregnancy symptoms, but those things didn’t make it “real.” I hoped today’s appointment would do it for me, and boy did it.
Of course I believed it enough to take care of myself, but I was resistant to rest and putting my feet up for a little while. That is changing and I’m finding my rhythm, one that includes plenty of rest but also enough activity to keep me from getting stiff. One thing at at time when my energy is right is what’s making my world go round these days.
That and an awesome husband who is willing to help in any way he can… including cleaning the kitty litter box. Now that’s devotion to the cause.
