April 23rd could not come soon enough! Finally, the day was here to go to our first doctor's appointment! Justin had just come off the night shift and was exhausted so he got himself an extra massive coffee and was sucking it down while we sat in the exam room waiting for the doctor. It had been one month since I had my last cup of coffee and I hated his guts just a little bit for enjoying his mocha so much.
The first part of the visit was an exam so Justin hid behind the curtain so he wouldn't have to witness my open leg humiliation. After the exam, we got to see our little one for the first time! Because the baby is hidden behind the pelvic bone, the ultrasound is performed internally. As the image appeared on the screen, we both began to tear up as we saw the flicker of the heartbeat.
After absorbing it for a moment, my ever-so-tactful husband whips out his phone and starts taking pictures. My legs are still wide open and he's snapping away with no regard for my "situation." By the time I got dressed again, he had sent the photos to all our family members and was engrossed in text messaging all of them.
We went down to the lab to get my blood drawn and Justin's phone was glued to his hands. He and his sister, Michelle, nicknamed the baby "Peanut" because of its nut-like shape and small size.
It was such a wonderful moment (minus the paparazzi moment) and a perfect birthday present (one day early).
