Patrick and I went for the 12 week ultrasound today. I have to admit before we got there I was very nervous. This is the crucial ultrasound in my mind. Until this day I knew I was pregnant but I would not let myself buy anything or really BELIEVE it yet.
When the ultrasound popped up the baby was not moving. My heart dropped, I was so nervous because the technician was not talking. She then let us hear the heartbeat and I was so happy! It was perfect at 162 bpm. Patrick said he wanted to tape it and hear it EVERYDAY!
The baby was still not moving so I was still alittle nervous so I asked if it should be moving. She told me that if I am around loud children all day that it was probably sleeping because it was quiet. Well my classes are terrible this year, so I am sure it was just as happy as I was to hear quiet! She tried her hardest to get the peanut to move but it only moved it's head. It looked like it was saying, " STOP MESSING WITH ME". The technician joked and said it was stubborn. I said " Yea, Just like it's dad"! :)
The whole time the baby was holding it's hands like it was praying! HOW SWEET!! The picture looks like it is making a "C". Patrick said this was for CAROLINA! :)
The only bad thing was they had to draw blood again because my thyroid level is low and they want to test this again. If it comes back low again they will give me some medicine and the doctor said that this could be one reason I have been so nauseated.
We find out the sex of the baby on October 27th and we are so happy!
It has finally hit me that we are having a baby in 6 months! WOW!! I am so excited and can't wait to start looking pregnant!
Thank you for all your prayers!
