Dr. Appt.

We had our first dr. appt. on Wed. We found out I'm nine weeks which is what my head was telling me however, my body felt more than that. But, our dr. said what I figured and that it is normal for second pregnancies. Our official due date is now March 5. So, the kids birthdays will be less than 3 weeks from eachother. It was so cool. We saw the heartbeat and were able to hear it as well. I didn't cry when we first heard Gabe's but this one I got teary. Then again, I cry a lot lately! As we were looking at it, it started moving! The doctor said, "Look, that's it's foot right there." It was kicking! I didn't know they could do that at nine weeks. I said, "It has feet already?" Eric then says, "Well, one at least." Our doctor laughed and said it was the angle we were at. It was like a little paw dancing around! The first thing that struck me was that nobody can tell me that it is not a baby at nine weeks. I didn't believe it before, but now I'm thinking every woman considering an abortion needs to have an ultrasound. I've heard Focus on the Family has a ministry out there that is trying to do that free of charge to women considering having one. What is also interesting is that the last few days I had been thinking that it was a girl but for some reason ever since I have seen it I keep calling it a him. I wonder if it is because I am used to saying that with Gabe. Who knows. I'd love either.
