Waiting for our little Munn in the oven...: 1st big sono

Well, we were supposed to wait until next Tuesday for this appointment, but I wanted to talk to my Dr. about stress/ high blood pressure from over working and get an opinion on either cutting back hours or quitting. They checked me out and said everything was fine - but told me I should cut working to p/t - so 4 hours/day max and then we went back for our 1st big sonogram. Eric and I were so nervous - we knew that if all was well we should get to see the heartbeat and get our 1st pics today. BTW - Due date is now 10/28/09! YAY!

New Countdown...

Make a pregnancy ticker

She (Dr.G was out of town) 1st did a physical exam (that it seemed we waited FOREVER for, lol) and said the lining was strong and then she sent us over to the sono technician. She checked the lining too and my ovaries - and said that cyst on the left ovary seems to be cleaing up on its own, etc... and then we saw it...our little baby! :) You could actually see the shape of its little head and body. :) I was so excited and before I knew it she found the heartbeat it was actually flickering!!! She let us listen to it 3 seperate times - 1 extra bc Eric was getting such a kick out of it! :) It was so fast and strong sounding! It sounded like a big horse galloping. I think she said it was 174 bpm. The sono tech said it was strong and then the Dr. said it was a very pretty heartbeat and that everything looks perfect. We were both just too excited for words! Here are the 1st pic of our little baby...
