09.28.11: Hearing the heartbeat

The previous weekend I had gone to a conference and got to tell the last friends and colleagues that I wanted to tell the great news in person. It was pretty weird talking about having a baby. Very surreal.

We finally got to see my regular doctor. She and her nurses were so fantastic and so happy to see us with such great news. The nurses actually hugged me which I think is adorable. This appointment was really just a baseline appointment but the doctor first pulled out the doppler and allowed us to hear Smudge for the first time. We were so excited. Sometimes it's been hard to believe that a baby is really growing so it was pretty surreal to be reminded.

We also decided it was time to make the news really, really official by posting on Facebook: 

is very excited (and a tad nervous) to announce to the Facebook world that...Chad and I are having a baby! We had two early losses this spring and are ecstatic to have made it past 12 weeks and have seen and heard a heartbeat with this little smudge. Due April 8--Easter Sunday. :)

We were thankful to all our friends and family for their positive responses!
