I have been looking forward to this day for a LONG time! Finally done with the first trimester! I still feel a little bit of the queasies now and then, but overall I'm feeling so much better and have much more energy. I've also started to develop what some women so fondly call, "the pooch." Yes, that little "bump" on the front of my tummy that has everyone thinking, "is Sarah pregnant or has she just been hitting the potato chips a little too hard lately?" Luckily, I know that it's not the latter...although potato chips have been sounding might good these days. :)
We had a checkup last week with our OBGYN and she listened to the heartbeat through a portable ultrasound device that looked more like a microphone than a anything. She pressed it onto the lovely "pooch" and soon we heard the wonderful and comforting "swoosh swoosh" of Baby Ellis' tiny heart! The doctor said that the heartbeat was good and strong and everything looked "perfect." We were thrilled.
Now we play the waiting game...only a short 8 WEEKS until we know if Baby Ellis will be "daddy's little girl" or "mommy's little guy." Luckily we will know just in time for Christmas...what a Christmas present! Although neither of us cares if it's a boy or girl, I have a sneaking suspicion that Jason is secretly hoping for a little girl. I guess we'll know soon enough!
