We had a little scare earlier in the week and rushed into the doctor. We've never experienced anything like this before and thankfully I was able to see the doctor right away. It was only fours hours of waiting but when you're waiting to hear the news of losing a baby or just experiencing a little bump in the road every minute might as well last an eternity. It's safe to assume Matt and I stopped breathing while awaiting the news. Especially when the all too perky nurse tells me over the phone, "Oh, you're ONLY 11 weeks. That's still early." What the heck is a frazzled, freaked out mama supposed to do with that comment!!?? Was she trying to prepare me for the worst? Clearly she doesn't know me at all...I always jump to the worst possible scenario and her words were only helping send my already pounding heart into a full on marathon! You could literally see my heart pounding out of my chest...People, I don't make this stuff up just for an interesting read!! :) When we arrive Nurse Perky Pants takes my blood pressure and says, "WOW!! That's really high!" Wellllll.....DUHHH!! Does she not remember why we are here!!!!?? Finally the doctor arrives (seriously why does it take them so long to come back after they ask you to get into your birthday suit!!? If they are going to make you wait while they grab a snack at least turn the heater on!!) She does the ultra sound and quickly says, "Baby looks good, there's the heartbeat. Here, let's show Dad!" She turns the monitor towards Matt...really!! How about showing the poor lady laying in a "gown" no thicker than a single ply of toilet paper about to have a heart attack...remember my high blood pressure!? I'm no doctor but that can't be good for the baby?! Finally she turns the monitor towards me and the "I've had too much caffeine for my own good and just can't seem to keep my thoughts to myself" nurse announces, "Whoa! That's a big baby!!" Great...get the epidural ready!
Yesterday was my set appointment, so Mee-Maw and Easton came. I was hoping they'd get to see my giant baby on the ultrasound but they just let us hear the heartbeat for the first time. After Monday's madness, it was sweet music to my ears!! 11 weeks down...29 to go!
Dear Little Wagoner Baby...
I was so happy to see your little face and hear your strong heartbeat. You've grown soooo much. You no longer look like a lima bean...you look like a baby!! Your big brother was so happy to hear your heartbeat, as he says, "Go Boom, Boom, Boom!" Keep up the good work. Thank you for easing up on the morning sickness and heartburn! See you in four weeks!
Love you so much, my little sprout!
