170 little heartbeats

We had our 12 week appointment today and were able to hear the Shorty's heartbeat for the first time. The self proclaimed rookie nurse couldn't find it at first and called in a seasoned nurse who found it on the first try. What an amazing sound! I think we both left the appointment thinking HOLY CATS, we really are pregnant!!! We also met Dr. Berger for the first time and he was excellent. Answering questions and walking us through what comes next. We have another appointment on April 14th (16 weeks) and then our 20 week appointment on May 14th where they will do "the ultrasound" and will get to catch a glimpse of the Shorty. So exciting! Aside from hearing Shorty's heartbeat for the first time, the other most exciting part of today's appointment was getting a prescription for tylenol with codeine in it. I've been having monster headaches (like put you into bed and don't move your head or turn on a light headaches) and the Dr. said this is pretty common, they should be going away in the next couple of weeks and wrote out the prescription which will hopefully help me function again or at least sleep better at night.
