Know what that sound is? It's the sound of a tiny 13 week old heartbeat heard through a hand held doppler machine.
I had my OB appointment today, met the Dr. for the first time. She was really nice, which is a plus. The heartbeat was at 166, which is perfect for a 13 week old inutero baby.
When all you feel during those early stages of pregnancy is sick, it sure is a wonderful sound to hear.

Linda, I'll be happy for you when the pregnancy sickness is done and you can just enjoy being pregnant. And big! :) I know you loved the sound of that little heartbeat!! I miss those days, for what it's worth.
