Today was October 9th. Once again, we were back at the doctor for an ultrasound and bloodwork to make sure all was going well. This time, the baby looked like what I called a little "blob." It was amazing, though, how much it grew from week to week. We were holding our breath as the nurse looked at the pictures, and then there it was... a small, blinking, white dot! This was the heartbeat, and it was perfect! I actually let out a huge sigh of relief. Once again, we left with pictures in hand, excited about our trip to the doctor in one week.
