I got my Christmas Wish and I am feeling so much better now. . .

I turned 10 weeks today. Since I've lost 125lbs I thought we give it a shot at finding the baby's heart beat. It's been my Christmas wish to hear it for Christmas/by Christmas.

However I wasn't sure I'd be able to find it since I could be 9wks 4 days - 10wks along. I don't know when I conceived at all and I suspect I am not as far along as I think I am and my EDD is actually July 23 and not July 21.

Either way, I had dh pull out the doppler after midnight just to "see" if we could find it and I fully expected we wouldn't and I would just try again around Christmas Day instead.

Well, after a little search we heard it clear as day. Nice, FAST, and strong. I am much more relieved now, but I still don't feel "safe". Maybe once I finally feel baby start moving, LOL

I swear pregnancy is so much more stressful after a miscarriage!

How wonderful for you! It is amazing that you found it. I am 9 weeks and I just assumed I would'nt hear anything for a long time! I miscarried in September and I still sort of assume this pregnancy is a joke. I am nervous and trying to breath and trust... I am sort of succeeding.

Merry Christmas mamma!

Thanks. I know I made a quick attempt last week to try and find the HB but I felt it was too early and I didn't want to do too much "damage" so when I didn't find it right away I just put the doppler away and waited a week.

It was a tough week to wait through but it was worth it and I am just so happy to have finally heard the HB. I've been so nervous I wouldn't hear it and I'd start bleeding soon.

I am breathing a little wasier right now for sure. {{sigh}}
