Wowzers
I got to meet Munchkin today! Up until today, I kinda doubted in my head that this was all real, but no more! I had an ultrasound done and got to see him/her.
Heartbeat was 176, strong and regular, and I got to see an appendage (not sure if it was arm or leg, 'cause I haven't figured out how to read those things yet) move!
Mr. C was out of town at a conference, but I called him so he could hear the heartbeat. I thought it sounded like horses, but he thought it sounded more like a train.
Either way, he sounded VERY excited. I know this has been hard on him, 'cause I've been sick and whiny and you really can't tell from one minute to the next how I'm going to act (or react) but now at least he can see a reason for all this. Day after tomorrow I'll be 10 weeks, 25% of the way there!
And the doctor said it was HIGHLY unlikely, but I SWEAR I felt Munchkin move last night. I still sleep on my tummy ('cause I'm weird like that) and I felt something flutter down there that wasn't gas and didn't feel like a muscle movement. It was just different, you know? They say you usually don't feel anything until about 16 weeks, and then it'd be early and rare, but I still wonder. Maybe if I feel it a few more times I'll be able to better identify the source.

Oh how exciting!!!!! You'll soon learn to distinguish and if you think you felt the baby, then go on believing it. I'm just so darned excited for you!
And fyi.... I slept on my stomach until the day I gave birth with both pregnancies. I can't sleep on my back!
