Further than thought

The last few days seem like a blur. I have been stressing so much about this pregnancy. My brain has just been...GOING...all the time. Even in the middle of the night I lie awake thinking about all the bad things that could happen. I was even watching youtube videos of ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages...how crazy am I!
My neighbor, super nice lady, helped me to call and get an appointment for today, which was good because I was just about going nuts with worry. I was thinking...what if I'm not even pregnant, what if I am just imagining this whole thing!
I just needed a doctor's confirmation and to see that the baby is growing in the right place!
We went to Termoli for my appointment. The doctor was very nice. He didn't ask a whole lot of questions, just the usual stuff...last period, previous pregnancy, medical history etc.
But then we quickly proceeded to the exam room. Needless to say I was a bit nervous about the internal or transvaginal (can't believe I just typed that word) ultrasound. But it turned out to be nothing. Wasn't even uncomfortable or anything. So much for scary youtube videos...I really should stop watching them as reference.
The doctor got a good look at our little munchkin. When I first saw the baby I was soooo relieved...YES!! There IS a baby in there!!! :)
Finally I can stop feeling like a fake. (Because that is how I have been feeling in the last week, doubting everything)
The heartbeat was the other huge thing, it was unspeakably wonderful to hear the fast and strong little heartbeat.
Husband filmed the whole thing. It will be really helpful to listen to the doctor a few times and make sure that I didn't miss anything important. My Italian is not yet up to par as for the medical terminology.
PolkaDot measured 3.14 cm and the doctor estimated her at 10 weeks! Which is a week further than I thought. I must have miscalculated something. Whoo! It is nice to jump ahead though. Even if it is just a week.
Here is a couple of the pictures we got. Isn't she cute! :)

All that to say, I feel much better now that I know everything is okay at this point. Thank God! 

We are so grateful for this wonderful gift of life :)
