We got to hear our baby's heart beat on Tuesday! My computer at work crashed this week so I had to wait to get a new one so I could post about this.
It was amazing though to hear. As soon as the doctor came in she asked if we wanted to hear the heart beat first or at the end of the appointment. Of course we said first. Dr. D put the little wand on my stomach and immediately we could hear the heart beat pounding away nice and loud. Dh recorded it and I was trying to be really still so we could hear the heart beat but now I think I look more like a robot in the video. I think I was in shock with everything. It's all just so overwhelming to think this is really actually happening!!!! Thank you all for your prayers. Everything at the appointment went great. It is the last appointment I am going to have with this doctor before switching to a different hospital. I was kind of sad about that and I didn't tell the doctor either that I plan on switching because I feel like I am betraying her. She has been wonderful!!! So Pro-life and all. But I really want to have a mid-wife for delivery and not a doctor....I know that is still down the road but with insurance it is best I make the switch sooner than later.
I have already gained 10 pounds this pregnancy. Fine with me! It is very weird to see my body going through all of these changes but I really don't mind. I love every discomfort that comes with this pregnancy. I am just so grateful for this gift.
I never realized that after dealing with IF how sensitive I would be to other peoples comments! I think it is that the wounds of IF always seem so fresh that they just make me more sensitive to comments. I know people have the best intentions and I am thankful for that...I am praying for you girls extra hard begging God to bless you too. It just breaks my heart to hear of some of you waiting for baby. Many, many prayers, coming your way!
Here is the video from my last appointment. I was camera shy and sppechless :) Turn up the volume so you can hear the beating of our baby's heart. So precious!
So sweet! Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteWow!!!! LOVE that !!!! Praise be to God!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am almost where you are in my pregnancy, and I haven't heard the heartbeat yet. I had wondered what it sounded like, and now I know! What a beautiful sound! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!!!! Thats awesome you guys recorded it!
ReplyDeleteSo great Amber! I'm thrilled for you! We're going tomorrow to see if the baby has a detectable heartbeat - we're only about 6 1/2 weeks. Pray for us!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How awesome. My doctor was talking the whole time he had the Doppler on my baby and I was trying to be polite and listen, so I didn't get to really take in the heartbeat moment. So disappointing, but maybe next visit. I am switching doctors too. You have to do what is right for you.
ReplyDeleteFinally got my speakers hooked up! HOLY CRAP LADY YOU ARE REALLY PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
