First OB Appointment

Tomorrow is my first OB appointment. I wish Bob was in town to go with me because I have a feeling I will hear the heart beat for the first time! We haven't heard it yet because the RE office we went to (they have 5 different ones) didn't have the correct machine to hear it with. So that is something that I am still waiting for. My mom told me that hearing the heart beat is the neatest thing and makes it seem a bit more realistic. I was telling her how it is still hard for me to comprehend that the baby I see on the ultrasounds is actually inside of me. It still doesn't seem real sometimes. I will have another ultrasound tomorrow too, I hope we can get a peek between the legs and get a guess at what it is! I know that this will probably be my last ultrasound until the 20 week one, so sad! I just loved seeing the baby every week. I also have a ton of questions for the OB. The first one will be if I can have an epidural even though I have scoliosis!

Tomorrow after my appointment my mom, aunt, niece and I are driving to St. Louis to surprise my grandma for her birthday. She has no idea we are coming and I am so excited to see her face when she opens the door. I also haven't seen a lot of my family in St. Louis since I found out I was pregnant so I can't wait to see them all, especially since I have a bit of a bump now! I am also really looking forward to seeing my best friend! I miss her so much! Her son is turning one this weekend! I can't believe she has been a mommy for one year now already, it seems like just yesterday I got the call that she was even pregnant.

Dear Baby,
Mommy is so excited to see you again tomorrow! I hope you cooperate and give us a nice shot between your legs, I really want to know what you are. I am also so looking forward to hearing your heart beat, I wish Daddy could be there to hear it too. Maybe Mommy will just have to find a recorder to bring for him.
We Love You!
Mommy & Daddy
