11 weeks 3 days

Hello all. I had my "12 week" appointment today. First let me tell you...I'm a part of a baby community, called Baby Center. So I'm a part of the October 2011 group; unfortunately about 15 of them have dropped out of the group because of miscarriage. So, I've been having horrible dreams about going to this appointment and they couldn't find the heartbeat and follow to an ultrasound to find that the baby didn't make it and that I would be miscarrying. Continue on to my appointment............

I thought all it was going to be was a doppler (where they listen for the heartbeat thru your belly) well they tried to find the heart beat thru my belly, but wasn't able to find it....I start to panic inside my head...so luckily they decided to just do an ultrasound.
Not only is our little booger still alive, but he/she is moving and bouncing around inside me. It was amazing to see that. I had tears in my eyes and couldn't believe how well my little one is doing!! If you pay attention to the video at one point you can make out the arm and see his/her bones in the arm. It was amazing how he/she would move when I would talk. AMAZING is all I can say! AMAZING!! OH and the pic is from under the baby because they had to do the ultrasound vaginally still. My uterus is still down in there and we were able to get a belly ultrasound, but the vaginal one is so much clearer! The big round mass seems to be the baby's stomach...or the circumference of the abdomen/chest area because you can see when she zooms out you can see a smaller bottom with the legs/feet showing! I'm so excited to get a clear abdominal shot so I can get a profile pic to add to the baby book!!





Needless to say, I think I'm going to stop going to the baby community for a long time. It just makes me paranoid and a worry wart, when I should be enjoying this pregnancy. So anyhoo drop me a line and let me know what you think!! YAY!
