Houston, We have a Heartbeat...

AND a "baby bulge"!

That's right....

We had our first OB appointment on Tuesday. With a lot of hard work and patience on the part of my doctor, we heard a fast beating heart!

To make sure that Noah could distinguish between the baby heartbeat and my own heartbeat, I did a very medically accurate interpretation of the baby's heart beating. It sounded something like...

Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga

He got the point :)

And I was ever so thrilled to have my doctor admit - out loud - that he felt a baby BULGE! That's what he called it... a BULGE!

And I must concur....

It is a bit of a bulge right now! I'm anxiously awaiting the metamorphosis from bulge to bump! Baby "bumps" are so much cuter than "baby bulges"!

Honestly, I can't believe how quickly that "bulge" has appeared. At this rate, I'll be in maternity clothes next month :)

I always tear up when I hear the heartbeat for the first time (ok, I've teared up the whole two times I've been pregnant, but you know what I mean!)

Congratulations again!

Oh, wow, how exciting! CONGRATULATIONS! That heartbeat is SO VERY encouraging! Believe me...

Oh, I am so excited for you, but not at all envious... I recall like it were yesterday how tired and nauseous pregnancy makes you... please let me know if you need anything! I'll be sending three boys to school so I would love to add a couple extra children to my day! Or make a trip to the store... or bring over dinner... you name it!

How far along are you? Wow, congratulations on the beautiful news!
