I had my first doctor's appointment today at Rock Hill, OBGYN with Dr. McClelland. We were told that we would have to have the baby at Piedmont Hospital rather than our first choice, CMC Pineville. We were rest assured that there maternity center was top notch and that one of my doctors would be there everyday. Dr. McClellan tried to find the heart beat using a hand held monitor. After searching and searching, he could only find MY heartbeat. Needless to say, at that point, my heart was about to jump OUT of my chest. The doctor told me that sometimes it's difficult to find the heart beart in early pregnancy using the handheld device. The good news is I got to have an ultrasound. So we sat there nervously, praying over and over that everything was okay. The nurse found the heart beat immediately and we were able to see the baby kicking. He/She will definitely either be a soccer player or cheerleader. Maybe even a Gamecock one...right Colby?!? ;-) So we left the doctor's office and called out parents to share the update. We can now breathe a little easier. Thank you God for this blessing!
We decided that we would tell the rest of our family about the baby using our Christmas cards. We will hand these out at our Thanksgiving celebrations with our families and we will mail a lot more! We can't wait to tell EVERYONE!
On another note, I feel like I am growing bigger by the day! My cheerleading tummy that I have had for so long is now a little pudgy. The doctors said I am showing quickly because I have a thin body frame. That's about it for today! This baby's hungry!
