Baby's First Ultrasound

First Ultrasound Day

 

From everything I have read it is pretty normal to think that for one reason or another something is wrong with your baby. I just knew that during our first ultrasound I would find out that I was mistaken and I actually wasn't pregnant or that we had lost the baby. My husband and my mom were both in the room when we heard our little baby's heartbeat for the very first time. It was AMAZING. Zach said afterwards, "You weren't kidding, there really is a baby in there." As if my past couple of weeks of morning sickness, sore boobs, and crazy hormones weren't enough proof. I left the Dr feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. We are so excited to meet our little bundle of
joy.

Wal Mart Bathroom...

Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I am a Target gal. I despise Wal Mart with all of my being. However, the day I found I was having my precious baby I was in none other than a Wal Mart bathroom. Disgusting...I know. You see, what many people don't tell you about the GLAMOROUS side of pregnancy is that when you have to pee, you could literally do it anywhere. I had just purchased a pregnancy test and I just knew that if I didn't use it right then and there, I was going to miss my chance. Well, at least for the next 45 minutes when I would have to go again. To my surpise, it was positive. I had taken several tests in the last 6 months and they had all been negative. I remember wanting to scream, cry, laugh, and jump up and down right there in the stall. My excitement was put on a halt when I realized my husband would be in a meeting for the next 2 hours. I couldn't wait that long. I just knew he would be excited. I sent the emergency text...

Shortly after I received a phone call from a worried husband. I couldn't contain my excitement, I just spit it out. "I took a pregnancy test and it was positive!" He gasped with excitement, I thought he would faint. We chatted for a few minutes, decided not to say anything to anyone yet and hung up. I purchased two more tests, just to be sure. I chugged a bottle of water on my way home and took a second DIGITAL test. When the test appeared POSITIVE, I decided to break my deal with Zach and call my mother (I know, I'm awful). My mother and I both cried over the telephone. When Zach came home finally we were both smiling from ear to ear, we couldn't contain our excitement even if  I did have to find out in a Wal Mart bathroom.
