Wait What?

First off thanks ladies for all your kind words the last couple of days. I'm so glad I found this community for the support, understanding and friendship it has given me. Now onto the dirty details =)

All day yesterday I was a nervous hot mess. Could hardly concentrate, could hardly eat anything and constantly staring at the clock. Finally, it was time to leave work and go pick Matt up. In typical farmer fashion he wasn't dressed or ready to leave yet, and he always says I'm the slow one. After a quick fill up we finally were headed to Columbus. Well there was one stop so I could go to the bathroom which I swear happens a lot more often these days. We got to Dr. S's around 4:35 so plenty of time to spare. Well they called us back and I am sitting on the table half undressed, we ended up waiting for over a half hour. Apparently, he was in a meeting that ran over. I was kind of shocked because I have never hardly had to wait much over 10 minutes ever there.

So finally Dr. S comes in and we get going. First off, there is only 1 little peanut in there. We did get some good pictures which I forgot at home. The heartbeat was nice and strong at 159. Not to get all sappy but I did get a tear in my eye when I heard the heartbeat. Maybe because I had always wondered what everyone else talked about when they heard the heartbeat. Let me tell you, hearing that made every poke, every prod, every dollar worth it. Now the interesting part. I figured I was around 7 weeks or so but when Dr. S measured it came up to 8w6d. I kind of was in a daze so I figured maybe I read it wrong so I asked Matt and he said no it said 8w6d. Wait what? So confused but it really doesn't matter in the long run.  Finally though it really is real. Not to say that I didn't think I was pregnant before because I knew I was but there was just something about seeing the peanut (that's what we have decided to call him/her) and hearing the heartbeat that gave me a sense of calmness.  Probably one of the most exciting things was signing the release form and being told to make an appointment with my regular ob/gyn. Which I called today and made my appointment for June 15th. Hopefully then I will get a handle on how far along I am and when I am due.

After all the excitement we went and did a little shopping! There is a good sized Destination Maternity store at the one shopping area so we went there. I wish I could have taken a picture of Matt in the store. While I was trying on some pants he somehow wondered into the nursing section. His face was PRICELESS! I did end up getting 2 pairs of pants and since I have been so bloated my other jeans have become so uncomfortable these pants are like heaven. Plus I got a ton of free stuff! We went to Old Navy and then grabbed some dinner and headed home. It was a fantastic day and I am super excited to see what happens on the 15th!
