12 WEEKS

December 10th: David and I had our second OB appointment. We started a tradition of meeting for lunch and then going to our appointment. We were really excited about this visit since we were (hopefully) going to hear the baby's heartbeat. After a couple of minutes the nurse, Sherie - who we love, was able to find the heartbeat. I felt so relieved to hear it; it made me feel like everything was alright and some of my worries instantly went away. Both David and I thought the heartbeat sounded like a bunch of wild horses galloping. When I first heard it I started laughing but David got teary eyed. At this visit we also decided to do an ultrascan to test for Down Syndrome.
