So Special

My husband and I shared something soooo wonderful today!  

Something that I think is pretty rare.  

Something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. 

We were able to see our baby's heartbeat together, for the first time, and only share it with each other.  There was no one else in the room.  

I don't think that I have talked about what my husband does but he is a physician....an interventional radiologist to be specific.  (if you don't know what that is...because most people don't...you can read a brief description here. So he is very familiar and comfortable doing ultrasound.  He scanned me this afternoon and we were able to see our little beeb's beating heart for the very first time.

I, of course, cried.  He just looked shocked.  It was a fantastic moment.

I have my official ultrasound tomorrow but he is not going to be able to be there so we wanted to see it together before then.  I am so glad we did.  It is a little weird because we both see these tiny flickering hearts on a daily basis so you would think that we would be used to it.  But I cannot even explain how much different it was to see that in MY uterus.  So special.....

I will post a picture from my ultrasound tomorrow.




By the way....my dinner with the girls went great.  I kept thinking I was so stupid for having stressed about it so much.  None of them said anything about me not drinking...


UNTIL....


The waiter brought us complimentary after dinner drinks!  What the hell?  I mean it was really nice but they had to know I had been ordering water all night....


I was pretty ticked because this made it obvious that I wasn't drinking whereas before it wasn't that noticeable.  


We all toasted and I slipped mine over to M and thankfully she took it quickly.  Only one girl noticed and she gave M a look and M just said something like "oh it's her reflux".  


I think the waiter was out to get me...


Happy Thursday everyone!
