Last week was one of the most nerve racking weeks that I have endured. Lindsey and I were preparing for our first prenatal visit with Dr. Brady (OB/GYN doctor). The visit entailed going over blood tests as well as having a first ultrasound. Because the baby was only about 6 weeks old, the ultrasound was done intravaginally. Needless, to say I was probably more nervous than Lindsey because of all the crazy things I think about as a doctor. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing especially when it comes to your own child. Being a patient instead of being a doctor is so enlightening. I was a wreck before the exam but after meeting Dr. Brady, she was very reassuring and very compassionate. I am so glad Lindsey was able to have this wonderful lady as her doctor. Okay enough of my philosophical jabbering and on to the good stuff!! Below is the video of baby's first ultrasound.
Amazing isn't it!! You can actually see baby's heart beating in this 6 week ultrasound. The heart beat actually forms in as little as 25 days. For now, Lindsey is off the hook with a single baby but that is not 100% confirmed until another ultrasound later on!! As we watched our baby on the screen, we were both overwhelmed by what we were witnessing. It was one of the most amazing and powerful things that I have experienced and I am sure that this journey will continue to get even better. Until next time everyone...
