Well, I now know that Ernie the Embryo does in fact exist. (He’s technically a fetus now, but the nickname Ernie has stuck. I pity the poor thing if it winds up being a girl. Heh.) I had my first OB appointment this morning and we heard the heartbeat! Yay!! It was really neat. Jake said it sounded like a dishwasher.

I love my OB. She was extremely friendly and she didn’t rush us, despite the fact that she always had 3 rooms going at one time. She’s very young, which I think is a blessing rather than a curse. I should be receiving a phone call soon about when my dating ultrasound appointment will be, so that will be exciting!
