I just fell a little more in love

I had an emergency appointment today because I am spotting. Again. And this time it's accompanied with cramps/tightness and my back killing me. So my lovely OB office squeezed me in and did an ultrasound. And there on the screen was this:

A baby. Not just a little blob anymore, but a real looking baby with arms and legs and everything. And as I sat there and held my breath to see something on the screen, I forgot how amazing it is to see your child and hear their heartbeat (167bpm today). I know the pictures are tiny and you can't really see anything, but the bottom right picture is the baby laying on its side with its head to the right and on the left are its little legs crossed. S/he was flipping and running, and my OB lightened the mood by pausing and rewinding the u/s to see it run and making jokes. I also fell in love my OB practice just a little bit more. (Oh please Aetna, figure this crap out with my hospital so I don't have to switch!!)

I am measuring right on time with my due date at 11w2d, and I feel like in 2 more weeks I will be out of first tri and able to relax a bit. My NT scan is a week from tomorrow, and I can't wait to see this little baby again.
