Hello, Little One!  Daddy and I were so excited to see you for the first time at our doctor's appointment today.  They say you are already growing healthy and strong.  We didn't get to hear your heartbeat yet, but we did see it.  It's amazing to see what all you can already do!

They did find a small blood clot, called a subchorionic hematoma, which most likely contributed to the spotting I experienced the other day.  It happens sometimes, and is normally harmless and reabsorbed into the placenta.  The doctor just asked me to take it easy until my next appointment in two weeks, during which time they will check to make sure it reabsorbed.  I should have no problem taking it easy, since this afternoon begins all of the grandparent visits!  They are going to be so excited to find out about you!

Love you,

Momma
