The heartbeat...

Yesterday we got to hear the most amazing sound in the world. Obviously I have known for quite a while that I was pregnant. That means that I have known that there is a little baby growing inside of me. But yesterday was the first time that I had proof of it being real. We were able to actually hear our baby and it was wonderful! I can't wait for my next appointment so that I can hear that little heartbeat again. I finally received some information to confirm that I am indeed pregnant and that everything is progressing as it should. It seems like I wouldn't need that reassurance, but I think I did. Obviously, the positive home pregnancy test, the absence of my period, and my pregnancy symptoms all gave us hints that we were indeed pregnant. But until now there was no way for us to know if everything was alright - if there really was a baby in there. Now we know that there is! I have been dreaming of becoming pregnant and having a baby since I was a very little girl. So, I literally feel like I am living my dream. We have a son or daughter and each day they are going to grow stronger and stronger until the day that we finally get to meet him or her!! I definately enjoyed my appointment yesterday and I am going to continue to enjoy this journey with every new milestone!! Also, I think I am starting to get a little belly so I thought I would show you some pictures.
