I have been waiting on this day for weeks! I was so excited about our first visit to good ol' Tripler today. (Tripler is the name of the military hospital here that I will go to for all of my OB appointments.)
I could barely sleep last night I was so excited. And Morgan is off of work today so it was nice to wake up to him this morning and get ready together for the appointment. I don't see much of him during the week lately because he works nights and I work days. Yea, me no like.
I knew the appointment would consist of paperwork, getting setup in the system, and scheduling my next appointment. I have been told by several people that Tripler normally does NOT do an ultrasound on the first visit. Why? I have no clue. But because of my history they set me up with a doctor and she did an ultrasound. I was so glad to know that all my worries would be put to rest today...well, hopefully they would.
As Morgan and I anxiously waited for the doc we took a picture for grins. Inside I was hoping for the best but still a little nervous. Because that very room we were in was the room I visited many times last year when I was experiencing the ectopic pregnancy.
Here we are:
After the doc came in, she did an ultrasound and it took her no time to find our Lil' Jonesie!!
I poked my head up and saw the little thing and it's heart beat just beating away! Morgan reached over, put his arm around me and smiled. I am pretty sure we were both feeling and thinking the same thing: THANK YOU LORD!
I was just so excited I could barely talk, blink, think, anything! I don't recall her saying what the heart rate was and my blank mind forgot to ask. So, I have no clue what it is/was. But I do know we have a healthy baby in the RIGHT SPOT! :)

So, basically I am just as happy as I can be. I give all my thanks to the Lord above and am so thankful for this blessing, my wonderful husband, family, and friends. (all of you!)
At the moment I am quite sleepy so I am going to cut the blog short today and go relax for a few before little Jacob gets home from school. But I will update soon. You know you want to know all the wonderful symptoms I am dealing with, right?! hehehe
But before I leave here is my 8 week side profile pic:
It is neat comparing this pic from my 5 week one :)
