Today was our first appointment with the doctor and everything went really well! Sam went with me for moral support - I feel so much more at ease having him there. I can't begin to describe what an enormous weight was lifted off our shoulders following this appointment. Dr. Austin said I looked great and felt our guess at timing was accurate. Right now we are looking at an August 23rd due date. I have been having a lot more problems with morning sickness recently which really made Dr. Austin happy. Funny that anyone would be celebrating morning sickness but he said that news alone was a really good sign that everything was progressing correctly. Because of the previous miscarriage, he suggested we do an early sonogram to see if we could see a heartbeat. Just a few minutes later we were seeing the baby’s heartbeat for the first time. In 29 years I have seen a lot of amazing things and have had my share of excitement but that little “thump thump thump” was one of the most exciting things I have ever seen. I think I was in tears almost instantly. The lab technician was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met and really let us get a long look at “our little diamond” (that is what she called it). Then she made several copies of the picture so we could take them home. I know it isn’t much to look at but here is a first glimpse at baby Coverdale:
We are about to start getting ready to head out to celebrate the New Year with friends. Our friend Veronica is hosting a New Years Eve party at her house on Mud Island. Almost all of our Memphis friends will be there. It will be a little different ringing in the New Year without champagne but I think we have enough to celebrate without it! Happy New Year!
