12 week check up

I went to my 12 week check up and was excited to hear the babies heart beat. Kenzie and Braxton came with me they wanted to hear the babies heart beat as well so they were also excited to come with me. Unfortunately Tyler had to work, so he wanted me to keep him updated.

First they weighed me and I only gained 3 pounds, I thought by the look of my stomach I would have gained more than that lol. But I guess with all the throwing up I have done with in the past few weeks I didn't gain as much as I thought.

Anyways, my doctor finally came in and measured my stomach and said I was measuring where I was supposed to be. Then she started checking for the babies heart beat. Searching and searching and she couldn't get it. She decided to go get a smaller doppler to see if that will help. Still searching for a heart beat and she couldn't pick anything up. So she decided that I should get an ultra sound just to make sure everything was ok. I text Tyler to let him know what was going on and we were a little nervous you never want to hear that they cant find a heart beat, he text me back and asked if I think we lost the baby I think he was more nervous than I was. Something inside me said that everything was ok, plus I was still throwing up and feeling pregnant and I am getting the baby bump. But there is always that thought in the back of your mind especially if the Dr cant find a heart beat. We had to wait for the room to open up so Kenzie decided to say a little prayer that the baby was ok, how sweet is that.

It was finally my turn to go in and yeah there was the baby moving all around, the heart beat was 170 bpm and everything looked healthy the baby was just sitting towards the back of my uterus, which was the reason why the Dr couldn't pick up a heart beat. What a relief to know that everything was ok.

We also got a good picture of the baby waving Hi. Yep that is the babies hand.




After we left the Dr's office Braxton said a little prayer to thank Heavenly Father for protecting his baby. I have such sweet kids.. I am glad that they know that they can go to Heavenly Father in time of need and also remember to thank him for our blessings. I am thankful that we are teaching our kids that its ok to ask for help and thank him for our many blessings, where ever you may be.
