Little Liam or Emmy's heartbeat...

I bought a fetal doppler heart monitor.  I think I finally had a breakthrough and figured out how to use it.  Here's the video.... oh and PS...I cannot get enough Orange Juice these days....especially at bedtime!

Fetal Heart Doppler

So Ian was shocked to know that I could buy a little machine to hear the baby's heartbeat (especially this early!).  I went online and found what seems to be a pretty reliable Fetal Heart Doppler and was lucky enough to find this great review for it on YouTube.  I purchased it in blue (here's to wishful thinking!) and I hope it works so I can keep it and use it for baby no. 2 one day! :)

I think this Canadian girl is just the cutest and I think she's about my size/weight which relieves me that I got the right size.  I hear if you're on the chunkier side, it may be harder to hear the heartbeat and feel any kicking or movement. 

There's a heartbeat!!!

7 weeks, 4 days

I went in for my follow-up ultrasound today.  Today was kind of a D-Day.  Determination day of sorts.  Up until now, there was barely a sign of a "viable" pregnancy.  I saw the heartbeat today.  It's finally a real baby. There's a BABY in there! HOLY CRAP! I can't believe it.  I really have to stop eating McDonalds, dammit!  Wow, it honestly took my breath away! I really and truly can't believe I'm going to get to be a mom around 32 weeks from now.  All that time I spent worrying about the things I was told about my PCOS and Endometriosis, and my poor ovulation.  All I can say is, THANK YOU GOD! Ian and I couldn't be happier :)  I'm set for a "Confirmation" appointment next Tuesday.  I like the sound of that :-)  Here we go!
