We had our first prenatal appt yesterday!
I was able to hear the heartbeat, a strong 170 bpm. My ultrasound came after the appt and I'm so happy DH was able to be there for it. We were both so excited to finally see our long awaited baby on the monitor. I started crying because I was so happy and DH had the biggest smile on his face. The baby was sleeping at first but then woke up and had the hiccups! It was so fricken adorable!
He was measuring a whopping 2 inches and they think I am about 12.5 weeks. Either way, I am so extremely happy and thankful to have made it this far!!!!
And I am so much more motivated to eat better now

mine didnt move much at mine... just one big spastic movement and otherwise just laid there pretty calmly.

Its STILL not real to me.... I think it wont be until DF and I hear that heartbeat together.

Fabulous news!!

So if they think you're 12.5w then your EDD is about a week off...better late than early!!

Are you still running? Or did you end up baking off?

yes i am still running, but not as fast or as hard as before. i take a walk break at least every mile, more often if there is a hill. i also haven't ran more than 3 miles at a time. and i am probably running now about once or twice a week... i have been doing step class (with lots of water breaks!), weights, biking, and prenatal yoga on the other days
