Happy July and July 4th everyone! I'm heading to bed for tonight but I'll keep my upbeat short and sweet...

Tonight, I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time. I wasn't even sure what I was hearing, but my CNM was smiling widely and so pleased to hear this at the end of 12 weeks. She said everything looks good, so I'm heading into the second trimester feeling really upbeat and hopeful...and with the exception of the chocolate chip cookie or two, very healthy and eating well!

I'll write again soon.
