Is There Really a Baby in There?

On November 6th we were able to get our first ultrasound. This was such a huge relief to me. I think once the initial thrill and shock of finding out we were having a baby wore off alittle, I started to feel worried about whether everything was okay. I kept having this horrible fear that maybe I was not really pregnant and that my symptoms were all in my head. I know it sounds crazy, but I couldn't help it. How embarassing that would be to have to tell people that we weren't really having a baby and that Oh, by the way....I'm a crazy person. So, when the ultrasound tech said the wonderful words of "There's the little baby", I think a 2 ton weight was lifted off of me. And to see the little flashes of light on the screen which was the baby's heartbeat. I think it made this all seem much more real to both Chad and I. The timing was perfect because we were flying to Orlando later that day for vacation and I just needed this reassurance that things were okay so I could relax and enjoy our trip.

I'll post the pictures of the ultrasound later.....Or feel free to check them out on Chad's blog.
