My Milestones & Events

Started Wearing Maternity Clothes
I had already started to grow out of a good number of my regular clothes and was headed down to pennsylvania to visit family. I decided to wear my first maternity outfit so Id be more comfortable and my belly wouldnt be as obvious since I had not told most of that side of the family.

Heard Baby's Heartbeat for the First Time
After my ultrasound in the doctors office, I was scheduled for a more detailed ultrasound at the hospital to see if they could figure out what had caused me to start bleeding like I had been. During the ultrasound we got to hear the heart beat, it was 147 bpm and I was excited to really get a good look at the baby and hear that everything looked great.

First Ultrasound
I was having some spotting and the doctor had trouble finding the baby's heartbeat on doppler so she did a quick ultrasound to check on baby. We saw the heartbeat and figured out that she was having such a hard time with the doppler because the baby was moving like crazy.

First Positive Pregnancy Test
I had taken a test when I first missed my period in april but could not tell if it was positive or negactive. My soon to be ex husband hid all my home tests for me and told me to wait a month. When I tested again and it was definitely positive.
