We had our third appointment with our doctor yesterday! We got to hear our baby's heartbeat again and had the opportunity to ask any questions that have come up to this point. Our doctor found the heartbeat right away and it is an amazing thing to hear my child's heart beating from inside my wife. I heard it last month and was overwhelmed and again yesterday it was still just as overwhelming as the first time I heard it.
Our doctor also told us that within this next month Anna might start feeling the "fluttering" of the baby inside her. She also told us that about a month after Anna starts to feel it the baby is strong enough to be felt from the outside. Which means I'll be able to feel it! Anna and I are totally overjoyed by this blessing that has been given to us.
Also we scheduled the ultrasound for September 11th! Less than one month from being able to see our baby. At that time we have the choice of whether or not we want to find out the gender. We are still undecided but definitely leaning toward one decision. I wont put it out there yet what we are leaning towards, because I haven't asked Anna if it's okay to do that. So Ill update everyone when I ask. (I have learned how to avoid conflict). I think, just like hearing the heartbeat for the first time was overwhelming to me, actually seeing our baby in the ultrasound will be just as overwhelming.
God has truly blessed Anna and I with this baby, also with wonderful friends and family who have been more than supportive. Thank you everyone.
YEH! How exciting! Can't wait for you to see your lil' one on September 11th....gender or not, it's gonna be so awesome!!!!! Goodluck with everything till then...also can't wait for the both of you to feel the "flutters"....oohhhh sooooooo exciting! Yippeee...keep us updated
