13 Weeks

I went to the specialist yesterday. It was really good!  The doctor didn't seem to be too concered about anything but did say that he wants me to have a C-section because of the surgery I had after I got married and I am totally ok with that! I'd rather be safe than sorry!

I woke up one morning last week and had a HORRIBLE feeling that something was wrong with my baby... I thought that he/she may not be alive..... YA HORRIBLE! I tried really hard to not stress about it and I thought that if something was wrong that my body would tell me.  Well yesterday when I went to the doctor I told him my concern and he said that my body wouldn't necessarily tell me if something was wrong. So that kind of freaked me out but he was really nice and took me into a room and used the little hand-held machine to check for the baby's heartbeat.  Well after like 2 mins of rubbing it over my tummy, he stopped and was like, ummm lets go into the ultrasound room.  Ya.. I was FREAKING OUT! He couldn't find the baby's heartbeat! I tried my hardest to keep it together and  I called Nick all in a panic and told him what was going on. While we waited for an ultrasound room to open, Tawni was doing her best to keep  me calm. (she told me later that she was feaking out too and didn't know what she was going to do if something was wrong with the baby) So about 5 mins. later they call me back to the Ultrasound room and he turns on the monitor and the baby wasn't moving and I couldn't hear anything... then FINALLY... I heard the heartbeat! Tears started rolling down my face! I was SO HAPPY to FINALLY hear my baby and know that everything was ok! The doctor said that everything sounded good and the baby was at the right measurements and everything for how far along I was.  I felt a HUGE sense of relief and I am SO GRATEFUL for technology and that I was able to hear my baby's heartbeat and know that everything is ok!
