We heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time yesterday! How to explain the feelings that come with that? Is it even possible to to do so? I was wowed. I mean, there was this tiny little glimmer of doubt in me at times. I would have to ask myself, am I really pregnant? Obviously, morning sickness, bloating, and all that lovely stuff were sure signs and I especially hoped that I wasn't simply gaining weight! There is just something so mind blowing about hearing that little thumping and it finally becoming REAL! I couldn't stop giggling (making it difficult for our doctor to keep track of our little guy or gal) and you should have seen Matt's huge grin! So adorable. I love seeing him so excited.
By the way, the heart rate was 140:) Try guessing the sex around that one!
It's a beautiful thing! And it really does make the fact that you are carrying a precious baby within you that much more believeable :)
ReplyDeleteI'm forgetting...does 140 bpm lean more toward the girl side or the boy side?? (Honestly, I should remember, but I don't!)
I'm told it's smack-dab in the middle! I am gaining, not only in my stomache, so there's one more point to chalk up for a girl!
