Bad day became beautiful

shawnacrest · August 2015

Hi guys, I'm new here and this is my first time expecting. My fiance works extremely long hours and I don't get to talk about this little baby nearly as much as I want to since we haven't told yet so I figured I could talk to someone about it.

Yesterday started as a terrible day, I went in to work and my entire department way laid off. I've been working there for quite some time and it was very unexpected. Not to mention, the timing is absolutely terrible. Then I started having terrible cramping and pains. I called the doctor and luckily they let me come in for an early scan. I was convinced that I wouldn't see anything since I was only 5 weeks 6 days, and never thought for a second I would get to hear anything. Then she asked if I wanted to hear the heartbeat and it was literally the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. At that moment nothing else mattered, and I feel like that's what becoming a mommy is supposed to feel like.

I just hope everything keeps going well. I also hope I am able to keep the same doctor as my insurance is only good through the end of the month.

I wish us all a happy and healthy 9 months
