First lub-dub

As the doctor walked out the room I was relieved to hear her say "everything looks fine". So I was surprised to have her come back in 5 minutes later with a fetal Doppler & said she nearly forgot that we needed to here the baby for the first time.

I wasn't sure how I would react or I'd I even wanted to listen. I wasn't sure because my heart hadn't completely accepted the fact that I was going to be a mommy.

As she moved the Doppler all around my pregnant bump.. I began to worry. Worried that there may be something wrong, again. I thought about the last pregnancy I had. It was heartbreaking to see my 6 week old fetus on the sonography monitor.. Lifeless. I cried.

It took a few minutes before she could get the Doppler on the right spot. And when she did.. That first "lub-dub-lub-dub" brought a smile to my face.
