I had my second OB appointment on June 28. I was 10 weeks pregnant, and definitely showing symptoms, but not showing much of a baby bump. The results from all of my tests during my first appointment came back clean, and I found out that I was rh negative, meaning that I would have to have a special shot 28 weeks into my pregnancy. The way that the doctor describes it, it isn't anything major to worry about. She did another ultrasound, and this time, instead of seeing a speck, we saw that looks like a baby, only it was upside down. It was moving its little feet and arms, and even waved at me and Dustin. I was so excited that I cried. For the first time, I was seeing what looked like a little baby growing inside of my belly. I was overjoyed, and still in disbelief that the little baby on the ultrasound machine was mine. She scheduled my next appointment for July 26, 4 weeks away. She said that at the next appointment she will use Doppler to try and hear the baby's heartbeat, but she would not do an ultrasound unless it was necessary. I'm kind of hoping that the baby buries itself deep down in my belly so that she cannot hear it, and she will be forced to do the ultrasound. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle not seeing my baby for another 8 weeks!

The doctor did give us something more to look forward to: we will be able to determine the baby's gender at my appointment in August, which should be scheduled around the 23rd of the month. Fingers crossed!
