Today was Amazing

I called into work today because I was having these horrible dizzy spells. I didn't want to drive much less serve. Jenny was totally cool about it. I figured I would get some rest and relax. While I was sleeping, I would wake up with my heart pounding feeling dizzy. This continued much of the day. I got worried and called the Dr. and they wanted to see me immediately. At this point, I am freaking out thinking something is wrong with the baby.

I go in, they take my pulse, blood pressure and temperature to make sure I don't have a fever or anything. Nothing. My doctor is still worried, so he calls a cardiologist friend of his with the same name (different spelling) and I will be seen next week. That was the soonest they could get me in. Dr. Groff wants to know what is causing my dizzy spells and rapid heart rate. Just as I am freaking out, they tell me they want to do a sonogram to make sure the baby is ok.

They use a camera that was inserted vaginally and checked my ovaries. Then, I saw the most amazing thing EVER. I saw my baby. I saw her heartbeat and even got to hear it. It was so fast. 167 BPM. It really was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. The sonogram tech told me to think of something sour to try and make her move, so I did. She moved! I got to see the umbilical cord. At that moment, it all hit me. I started to cry and Nathan was grinning from ear to ear. We got a picture of the baby. It's her first picture. It finally feels more real.

Despite the fact that I felt like crap all day, getting to see my baby was completely worth it!
