Baby Gleason's Heartbeat

So today was interesting! I started to experience some major dizziness (no, remember I am a brunette!) so I called the doctor. They asked me to come in so I went. Well, found out I am going to have some issues with anemia during my pregnancy. I have always been anemic, but man, being anemic and pregnant is wicked. I can't even describe the dizziness that accompanies it! Anyway, I have to start taking some iron pills, which I am not excited about and will not go into details :) BUT, the fun part about today was that when I thought the doc was finished he said, "Let's see if we can hear a heartbeat. It's still early, but we'll try." WOW, was I excited, scared, and anxious all at the same time! It took the doc a few tries, but he found it. It was a little hard to hear, but it was the most AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL sound I have ever heard. It was difficult for him to keep the sound up as he had to be directly over it and that was a challenge. Well, just the little bit that I heard was awesome. So, now all my doubt about even being pregnant is officially gone! Ha! I was only a little sad because Luke was not there to experience this, but he will next time hopefully! I go back next Friday (Jan. 12) for my first ultrasound...yippee. I bet that will be cool :) Keep praying for baby and me!
