Frauenarzt

I had an absolutely fabulous day! I got sicker today than I have in awhile, but even that cannot stop my giddiness. I had an appointment today with a doctor that a few girls from my ward see and who speaks excellent English. That alone made the appointment very helpful.

Next on the “great things” list is that she was really helpful with my being sick. She answered a lot of my questions and gave me a refillable prescription of the magical medicine I have come to count on. She even mentioned that just having me continue my rather expensive prescription rather than trying something else was important enough just because of the peace of mind it would give me. Amen!

The absolutely most amazing part of my fabulous day was having my second ultrasound. At our last appointment what Chad and I saw was something that look like a little bean, and you could see the little heart flutter. That was interesting but today was AWESOME. As soon as Dr. Nadig began the ultrasound this little baby jumped! It was moving and reacting and it looked like a little person. I could see a little face, with a nose and jaw line. Elisa has a nose and a jaw line too–maybe it takes after her. I saw little legs and arms with fingers and toes. I just started to cry. The doctor kept saying that I had a very healthy baby and reassuring me of how positive everything was. The first thing I thought was that it was really real, and the next thing I thought was how much I wished Chad was there too. I cannot wait for him to see next time! I wish I was there too, because the still photos from the ultrasound are exciting. Experiencing that today was truly miraculous.

How exciting for you guys! I had a similar experience with my ultrasounds. It is the neatest thing ever to experience seeing that growing baby moving and already so human-like. I can’t wait to hear about the rest of your experiences throughout your pregnancy. It is a VERY exciting time.

There is an old wives’ tale: the sicker you are, the healthier the baby is. A lady I worked with said that, the only time she wasn’t sick, there ended up being something totally wrong with her baby. I know that has been my experience. With the baby I miscarried, I felt so amazingly good. So, even though you feel like you’re going to die, your little boy or girl is quite comfy in there.

The exact same thing happened when I was pregnant with Abram. Jacob came to the “bean” picture appointment, and missed the “little person” fully animated on the ultrasound. You can remember that with baby #2 someday though. What a miracle this little baby will be in your life! Congrats!
