I was totally excited/counting down the minutes til my appointment today but as the day wore on & 3pm crept closer, I actually started to get kind of nervous...
I mean, up until this I was basing all of our excitement/information on a pee-on-a-stick test. I hadn't even had a chance to have a blood test done, like I had around week 6 with Stella.
But......as most worrying turns out to be, all of that was for nothing because my appointment couldn't have been more wonderful:)
Dr. Heinzel was just as fabulous as ever. He made us feel so welcomed & cared for & relieved & happy & just...all-around good. He told us that he's thought of us often & wondered how we were doing (on our fertility journey) & when he would be seeing us again. I told him that I was still so sad that his shift had missed Stella's delivery (by 7 minutes!) & he promised me that he would be the one to deliver this one, no matter what. I told him how strongly I had considered The Birth Center but that I just couldn't bear the thought of him not being the one to care for me through the pregnancy...to which he replied, "Don't worry; I'll be your midwife. It'll just be at Lankenau. You can go natural with me. You'll heal so much quicker too. It'll be great!"
I just adore that man.
And that baby! There he was....flipping around all over the place, his little heart flickering away on the screen.
*Magic* doesn't even come close to describing:)
NOW its really real.
And I just feel so overwhelmingly blessed.
