We went to our 1st doctor's appointment on May 19th, 2010 and got to see and hear our tiny little ones heartbeat! It was overwhelming ! Such relief swept over both of us as we held our breathe in anticipation of the flicker. Jamie asked if the heartbeat was strong, and the doctor said it was. It was beating 156 bpm. Thank the Lord! Our doctor and his nurses have been with us through this whole process 100%, they are so sincere and caring and I think they were genuinely as excited as us! I told the doctor that , "now we just need to make it through the first trimester!" and he promptly added, "and the 2nd and the 3rd!" So true! Jamie and I are so excited to be parents and we pray everyday that this baby arrives healthy, and safe. It's really scary after miscarriages to be pregnant again. We want this so bad, and know it's in God's hands-nonetheless, it's scary.
I take Lovenox injections daily to thin the blood and prevent clots, it's more of a safety precaution than anything else. It's not that bad-at first the idea of injecting myself in the stomach everyday was anxiety producing, but since I knew it had to be done, I promised myself the first shot that I wouldn't hesitate or flinch. I didn't and it wasn't too tough for me, although I think it was for my sweet husband who waited with baited breath.
I go back to Dr. Garcia, my OB/GYN in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see the progress.
