We heard the heartbeat!

We had another appointment with our doctor today and our hope coming into this particular appointment was that we would hear the heartbeat. At our last appointment the doctor told us that Anna was not quite far enough along to hear it. As the doctor was trying to find the heartbeat I was getting kind of emotional sitting in the chair with the thought of, "maybe we wont hear the heartbeat today." Or even the thought of hearing it was getting to me. Finally the doctor found it, and it was clear and it was strong and it was fast. About 160-170 beats per minute. It was such an emotional time for me as I sat and listened to my babies heartbeat for the first time. I cant begin to explain how overwhelmed I was at that moment. I cant wait for every new step of this journey with Anna and our baby.
