I heard my baby

I heard my baby's heartbeat. It always amazes me. Every single time. When I was preg with Will, Scott came with me to my first appointment. It was at 8 weeks and they didn't even try to find one. At the second one, Scott coudln't come. So Jenn drove me but waited in the van cause her two little ones were sleeping. I walk into the room not knowing what to expect and she pulls out the heartbeat thingy. (ALthough I didn't know that was what that was at the time) She says let's see if we can get a heartbeat. And in an instant there he was. Loud and clear and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Of course teh nurse, assistant or who ever she was said yep there it is adn quickly pulled it away to make a note on her chart. ( did not like that place at ALL) There she is acting like it was no big deal and I just heard someone elses heart beat beating inside of me. I didn't start to cry until after I left the office. And I felt that way hearing all of Will's heart beats.
Then there was Rachel. A new doctor (Thank heavens). He smiled a great big smile and said here's the baby. He left teh first time we hear her heartbeat last long and loud. Again I was amazed. And this time was equally breath taking. My dr. (same as the one with Rachel) was tryign to find the heartbeat. It was taking a bit but he kept trying. Then my heart was beating so loud (worried) that he said he didn't know if he could pick the baby's up. But then there it was. My breathe caught in my throat as I heard it. There it is the Dr. said. I smiled and listened. That's my baby.
I know I am preg when that 2nd little line appears. But I never FEEL preg until after I hear that sound. That beautiful thump-thump. Yep, here comes baby. And by the way, my ultra sound is scheduled for Feb 14th. Anyone care to guess boy or girl?????
