Well....today was the day!! We got to hear our little blueberry's heartbeat...it was amazing! Todd went with me of course and we sat in the room while the technician found our little peanut in there...then i just looked at it and started laughing because i thought it looked like a slim jim attached to a balloon! We dont start developing little nubs til this week coming up so we literally saw him as early as possible, but we got to see a little heart beat going STRONG. Then Lisa, our technician, focused on the little grain of rice lookin heart and turned on the volume...and MAN that was the craziest thing i had ever heard. It was beating so fast and so happy and we just didn't know what to do with ourselves. It's just so amazing that so much is going on inside and I have NO idea!
I do have to say that during the heart beat Todd and I did NOT cry...that seems to be the big question...BUT let me tell you why. Just to set the picture up, I'm lying on the table obviously, he's standing to my left in about a 4 inch space. Lisa is sitting at the computer on my right. The whole time Lisa is talking and explaining what we're seeing Todd is leaning over me on the table with his face in the monitor like he's studying for a quiz. So as Lisa's explaining 'here's her uterus, here's the ovaries...' I can see TOdd's brain just working. I knew as soon as she took a breath he'd be firing off questions. Just as expected, and not to let me down, she went to switch scenes and he starts firing them off...just asking what was going on in the uterus and where the ovaries were again and what they were all doing and blah blah blah. I start cracking up and just look at him like 'I'm going to kill you if you don't stop'. So i ever so lovingly grab his arm with my left arm, and give it a gentle love squeeze, and that ladies in gentlemen is why there was no room for tears...
And low and behold...here's the first picture of our little zig...
