Our 1st ultrasound was this morning. What an experience! I knew already that it would be special...but this was THE MOST exciting moment in my life so far! The heartbeat was 166 bpm and everything looked perfect! My mother-in-law asked me how I felt after the ultrasound and here was my response: "VERY, VERY, VERY exciting!!! As soon as I saw the heartbeat, then we heard it, I finally knew it was REAL! When you've tried for as long as we have and taken test after test only to get a negative, it's surreal when you finally get a positive result! Every time I look at the ultrasound pictures I cry. I'm ecstatic...beside myself with joy...it's a wonderful feeling!" Mark even says he's a lot more excited now that he's seen and heard the heartbeat. I have to admit, getting a positive result from a urine test 4 times was pretty neat. But, seeing the little heart beat and then hearing it was out of this world!
I had my first "weird" craving today too. I wanted beef jerky, pickles & chocolate chip cookies all within 10-15 minutes of each other. And yes, I gave in. I had 3 pieces of jerky, 1 half of a pickle and 1 chocolate chip cookie. Everything in moderation as to not gain too much weight too quickly.
