We went to see Dr. Charnes today and filled out tons of paperwork. Because I am an old fart, I have to have a lot more testing than say my younger counterpart.
As the camera came in it must have poked the sack cause the first movement was "what the heck was that?" I was initially floored and said "hi honey" with that the baby waved one little arm. Larry was in the room and we were floored. I was stunned but did hear a very healthy and fast heartbeat.
The staff at Dr. Charnes' office is wonderful and we felt totally at ease with them. Due to my surgeries from a few years ago and the nature of them, we have opted for medical reasons to have a "C" section to save from any complications.
I have a lot of appointments and a meeting with a genetic specialist to rule out whatever is necessary. I have to do a lot of blood work so I better make friends with the vampires now <G>.
Our target due date is November 20, 2011 and we will find out the sex in late June. Now it is real and I am going to do my darnest to be a good "oven" to "bake" the baby for 9 months. I have a lot of friends who I adore and are so supportive of me and I can always count on them in Facebookland to make me smile or reassure me "its normal honey."
I am grateful to God for the gift he has bestowed on me and Larry.

Look at how absolutely gorgeous and incredible that little one is!
