We went for our appointment today. They told us when we got there that it was sometimes really hard to hear the heartbeat on the doppler at 12 weeks. This was disappointing to me, but we would deal with it. The nurses looked for what seemed like 20 minutes to me. Brent says it was more like 5. They couldn't find a heartbeat, so one of them went to find a doctor to see if the doctor could find it.
The doctor came in and--- as soon as he would find it--- our little stinker would move!!! He/she was hiding from us! The doctor asked one of the nurses to bring in the most ancient, portable ultrasound machine I have ever seen. As soon as the wand hit my belly, we saw the little heart flickering.
We also saw baby waving and kicking and flipping! It was amazing! He/she would not hold still for a second! It stole my heart away.
Even though the ultrasound machine was incredibly old, we were amazed at how clearly we could see the little baby. We never really were able to see all that much with Kailee because there was no amniotic fluid. We go back at the end of July and will talk with the doctor about scheduling the anatomy ultrasound.
Today is a good day.
