Nerve-wracking

That's how my ob appt yesterday felt. The nurse did the usual stuff and then a male med student came in and asked if he could talk to me and listen to the heartbeat. Sure.

He kept trying to find it, but couldn't :( My heart sank! He looked up at me and said 'I'm sorry! I really hate when this happens, but I need to go get Dr. C'

It was only a couple of minutes until he returned with her, but it felt like FOREVER!! Dr. C started looking for the hb, and after a couple of minutes she looked at the med student and said 'I can't get it either! Bet you don't feel so bad now!' And they both laugh. I was like HELLO!!! I said, 'Well, it doesn't make me feel better!' She said, 'I'm sorry. I could keep looking and prob find it, but I'm stressing you out, and that's not good (ya think?!?) so let's just go next door and do a quick scan.'

I just KNEW in my heart it was over. I was fighting back the tears and wishing Kevin was with me.She put the wand on my tummy and started laughing and moved the screen so I could see. She said 'Well, obviously everything is ok cause he's moving around all over the place' Little stinker! He/she was SO active and moving around like crazy! Found out the reason they couldn't pick up the h/b was because of the placenta being anterior. She zoomed in a bit and showed the heart beat (didn't get a h/r) and printed me a pic and sent me on my way.

I'm thinking after nearly giving me a heart attack, he/she deserves his/her first spanking when they're born! LOL.

I still don't think it's sunk in yet. I've just been expecting the worse, with all the cramping/spotting and 3 AIPD outbreaks, but it's really looking like peanut is gonna be just fine!

Here is the pic from yesterday
