Prenatal

October 2nd, 2010

Today was our first prenatal appointment. I am nine weeks along so we were able to see the heartbeat on the ultrasound. One word-surreal. Is that tiny blip on the screen our baby? Is it healthy? Is it a boy or a girl? Are we going to be good parents? What makes a great mother?

All I have are questions. No answers.

Of course, I feel pretty lucky. We were able to get pregnant fairly easily and quickly (which my husband takes full credit for). I am healthy and feeling great, except for the unusual on slot of massive hormones. My hubby has been really sweet, when he is home. The poor guy works all hours. My parents are elated with the reality of becoming grandparents. They are wonderfully supportive and a vast amount of obvious information and education; they have been through this before after all.

I guess it all became real today. Official. I am going to be a mother in a few short months.
