Our First Doctors Appointment

The Montgomery's had their first appointment today!!! Both baby and mama are very healthy! Nicholas and I were both very excited and a bit nervous this morning... I woke up around 5:30am and couldn't go back to sleep. Our doctor is amazing! She is very personable making it so easy for both of us to ask questions and feel at ease. I went through some tests...blood being drawn and some other more unpleasant tests and then we started the ultrasound. I've been excited about having an ultrasound for a few weeks now. Not having any sickness and no belly to speak of just yet it was hard to believe I was really pregnant. Nicholas stood beside me and held my hand as our baby came into view. Seeing our baby for the first time is an emotional moment I'll never forget. Tears instantly came to my eyes... We had such a clear view. So clear we could even see our baby's little heart beating. With our doctor navigating we saw all things important; little arms and legs, eyes, umbilical cord and a healthy beating heart. After the doctor scanned around just to be sure there weren't two... we were able to focus in on the heart and hear it beating. This for me was so life changing. Knowing there is a healthy little baby growing inside of me with a strong healthy heart beat changed me instantly. Nicholas said it all became so real watching our baby, seeing and hearing it's heart beat... AMAZING! Our due date as of right now is January 4th. We won't have another doctors appointment until July 10th. I jokingly told Nicholas after the appointment I wanted to buy an ultrasound machine! I could have stared at that baby all day long!
