It's real...

My husband and I went to the doctor today. We got there and filled out the screening forms for HIV and Cystic Fibrosis. I was like wow, that's not a lot of paperwork. Ha. We went back with the head nurse and did a full medical history. Turns out my family is way more sick than Jason's... who knew? We talked about do's and don'ts, safe medication, and all that stuff. Since I have irregular cycles and I was on clomid, the nurse said they would do an ultrasound today-- woohoo!

Then they did a urine screen which was fine. They tried to get my blood. Ugh. This has always been a difficult task. They stabbed me three times and still didn't get what they need. At one point I had three nurses and my husband hovering over me to see if my blood was flowing. Claustrophobic much? Anyway, they couldn't get enough so I have to go back next week.

There was an emergency so we had to wait 30 minutes for my doctor to do an ultrasound. Jason and I were so jittery waiting to hear the heartbeat so it could feel "real." The doctor came in and asked if I had any questions. He probably thought I was an idiot because I really didn't have any.

When he first brought up the screen, all we saw was the sack but no baby. I freaked out a little bit, but 2 seconds later there was our little nugget! Heart was just beating away! He turned on the volume so we could hear the heartbeat too. It was beautiful.

Little baby Deal, due March 23, 2012.... You are so loved already!
