We had my 12 week OB visit on Saturday, and boy did this little one give us a hard time! The nurse came in to find the heartbeat with the doppler, as usual. Well, the poor nurse tried really hard for at least 10 minutes, and the baby just would not cooperate! She said she could hear noises that the baby would make from moving, but just couldn't get that heartbeat. It made me slightly nervous, because of course you wonder if everything is really okay with the baby... So she said they'd do an ultrasound to find the heartbeat. They snuck us in quickly between other patients, and we were thrilled to get the chance to see our baby! The tech saw the heart beating right away, so that allayed our fears immediately. We saw one arm reaching up, and both legs were stretched out. It looked like he or she was just lounging in there! It's so amazing to look at your baby at 12 weeks and see a fully formed baby. We could see the sweet little profile, body, arms, and legs. It never gets old to see the Lord's miracle of life! Here's our ultrasound picture:
So after all that, my guess now is that we're having a trouble-making boy. Or maybe a drama queen of a girl. :) We'll find out in about 8 more weeks! Woo hoo! We're just praising the Lord for a healthy baby that is right on track!
