So the doctor ordered tylenol and tylenol PM. Kind of funny I had to go in for that BUT it was worth it because we got to hear the HEARTBEAT. This is the moment you hear about from the time you find out your pregnant. I had no idea we were going to be able to do it today! So she puts the little heartbeat monitor on my belly and there it was. A swishy little (strong) heartbeat. And what did I do upon hearing this amazing proof of life inside me? I giggled, like a little girl. And then we couldn't hear the heartbeat cause all we could hear was my laughing. I guess it was happiness, I couldn't hold it in. It was beautiful and the doctor said it was strong, which is all we care about.
I had to get weighed of course. I do not enjoy this part of the visit at all. It is incredibly hard to handle my increasing weight gain. Ugh! I am starting to feel better, so now maybe I can start working out more. That should help. I'm used to running 15-20 miles a week, so this is definitely a change for me. I don't expect to be able to run that much, but maybe just a little.
So tonight I'm trying the tylenol pm, and I am going to be optimistic that I will get a full nights rest. Though I can see myself staying up all night thinking about that beautiful noise, the heartbeat inside me.
Congratulations!
