Doctor Visit #1 "It's a Peanut!"

Thursday was my first Dr. appointment. I was very anxious and didn't sleep very well the night before. I got there right on time and, surprisingly, was seen within about 15 min! Shocked! The nurse, Miss Lily was there to check me in and take all the usual tests. My blood pressure was a little high, like usual, so she took it twice. Once in the room, Dr. Ihara and Miss Lily got the ultrasound machine set up and away we went!
Dr. Ihara wanted to do a vaginal ultrasound. From what I have heard from others, many times you only get to hear the heartbeat on the first visit. But with the vaginal ultrasound, it's a guaranteed visual! Show me that peanut! I was definitely excited.
I saw little Zyggy first on the monitor. Dr. Ihara then pointed out the pumping hartbeat on the screen. "There's your little peanut!", said Miss Lily. Then he turned up the sound and...

This is one of the coolest things I have ever heard in my life! 

I teared up, then asked if I could record it for Gabe. Dr. Ihara told me that it's really not allowed, but he would let me anyway. Nice guy, my doctor. :)
Everything else at Kaiser went as planned. I was out of there about an 1 1/2 later.

Now that I have seen AND heard our little baby, it's so much more real! Things are falling into place and there is a peace that has come over me. I pray every day for our little one's health and safety, but I know our little Zyggy is in God's hands.
