Hearing the Baby's Heartbeat!

I had a routine doctors appt. Thursday for my 11-wk check-up...I thought I was just going in for some blood work, etc...but got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time instead! WOW! It was so emotional! Our little one was a little shy at first, and had nested his or herself down in my lower abdomen, but the Doppler finally found it...the little galloping sound of a heartbeat! Very strong at 140 BPM! It was amazing - the first time that I really felt like "hey, there is really someone growing inside my belly!" I also informed my Managers at work about the pregnancy - I am blessed that they were both not only supportive, but excited for Philip and me. We are FINALLY in week 12 - almost finished with the first trimester! We are so excited to begin the journey of the second trimester and everything that is coming up in the next few months!
