This past friday ( March 31st ) my wife and I had our first appointment with the Obstetrician. My wife is currently 10 weeks pregnant. We had a chance to hear the heart beat, as well as get a first look of the baby with the ultrasound. It was a very REAL moment. It kinda shakes the reality into, and what a reality it is.
Its not an easy feeling to explain, but man, what a moment in time. Your just sitting there watching the doctor take out what looks like a portable kareoke machine, and then all of a sudden, you can hear a "extremely rapid" heartbeat. Now at first you could think that a fast heart beat is a problem, then you remember that smaller beings have a faster heart rate.
Now I like to think i have good eyesight, but when she showed us the picture on the ultrasound, i couldn't make out what was what. I guess they must train these doctors to recognized certain formations, because at the size the baby is now, I can't tell up from down. ( for those of you who are interested, I will try to post the picture of the ultrasound online this week ).
stay tuned for play by play of future appointments
