First time we ever saw you...

On November 11 I had my first "pregnancy appointment" it was the confirmation pregnancy visit to confirm that there truly was a baby. On that appointment, they had me take a urine test, blood work and the doctor went ahead and checked my cervix. She confirmed that we were having a baby and was even surprised herself to find out we had gotten pregnant faster than what she expected! since baby was still to tiny, she wanted me to wait til the following week for our first ultrasound. Nov 17 showed up and we were both on our way to meet our baby! I told Luis that out of all my dr visits, this one i felt nervous to be there, i was about to see my baby for the first time ever!!! i was in so much shock that it was still hard for me to let it sink in because i was to afraid of something being misread or happening and me really not be pregnant! they had me lay down for the ultrasound while Luis stood next to me, out of all the previous ultrasounds they've done, i never bothered looking at the screen, i didnt care to see my cysts but this time, i was eager to look at that screen and see for myself if there truly was a baby! we looked and there it was, my beautiful. loved, tiny baby just hanging out at 7 weeks and 2 days. She then pointed out to us a tiny spot that was moving very fast, it was the heart beating! we saw how fast it was moving! you already had so much life baby! she then let us hear the heartbeat, it sounded so amazing! i could hear Luis in the side of me laughing but with that laugh that i know it was from happiness. your hearbeat was at 160! no wonder we could very clearly see how fast it was beating!! After the dr visit, we went to have dinner and i think that's when it truly hit me, that you are here and in my tummy, you're safe and growing strong. Luis showed me a picture of a nursery in case you are a boy and it was of Dumbo! if you are a boy, Dumbo would be the perfect theme, in the movie, she waited to have her tiny elephant and after so much sadness and waiting, she got him... i can relate to her. After seeing that picture of the nursery, i just started crying. From being pregnant, that was the first time i cried because you truly are here, what we have been hoping for. See you in our next ultrasound baby.
