Strong Heart

You know how I said I was going to be more easy going about this pregnancy? Well, I hit my first roadblock in the journey of the "stress-free" pregnancy. I went for my doctor's appointment today. He asked me my dates again (for the third time and after I had it written on my medical sheet that was sitting in front of him on his desk). He got out his little wheel chart and calculated my due date. At my first appointment, he told me end of April/beginning of May. After consulting the wheel, he said my due date is now March 8. But then I glanced at the wheel and he had it pointed to the beginning of June when I told him the beginning of July. Unless, you go back a month...I am so confused. But I'm taking it in stride. I have an ultrasound next week so there they will take measurements and be able to give me a more accurate due date.

But the good part was that I got to hear the heartbeat!! I didn't think I would be so excited about it. One of my friends at work asked me if it's as exciting the second time around. I paused, I was about to say no, that's it's all the same, you know what to expect and it's not new anymore. But it hit me...I am excited about it. It was awesome hearing that little heart beating so strong and so fast. I admit, I teared up a bit.

Tomorrow we are driving to Regina for the day and going to the Rider game. Mark got some tickets from a co-worker so off we go!! Go Riders Go!!
