By the time we went to our 8 week appt., I had already had 2 positive pregnancy test results, blood work to measure Hcg hormone levels and in case that wasn't enough another pregnancy test at about 7 weeks into it just to confirm. I "just didn't feel pregnant" anymore. With the anticipation of seeing our baby for the first time and finding out exactly how pregnant I really was, Brandon and I anxiously awaited that first appointment. When we finally, on a whim, got into the doctor it was August 19, the day before the first day of the new school year. With a new principal and a huge secret I ducked out the back door of work to go see our tiny baby.
The first ultrasound proved only that there was a bean, or a penguin, or a gummy bear fluttering in my uterus. Though it was amazing, I was still in a bit of disbelief. We were told that it's heartbeat looked great, normal and that it was measuring 13mm which put us at 7 weeks 5 days pregnant. WOW!
