We went in for our 12 week checkup with Dr. Hinton Friday morning. This was the one where we were suppose to hear our sweet little ones heart beat. The doctor was unable to find the heartbeat with the Fetal Heartbeat Doppler. I became slightly nervous but Dr. Hinton reassured us that this is not uncommon and that the baby is very small and may just be hiding. Just to be sure we were taken to have an ultrasound. We immediately saw that Baby Walker was just fine when we began the ultrasound. We were able to see the baby just two and half weeks ago and it was amazing how much the baby has grown since! On this ultrasound we could actually see the baby and not just a dot on the screen. Baby Walker was kicking and waving her/his arms. While we were watching Baby even rubbed her/his eyes and did a full front somersault! I believe Baby was just hiding from the heartbeat monitor so she/he could give us a little performance! I am actually thankful now that we had to do the ultrasound. I new I was pregnant but to see a baby, arms and legs, kicking and moving around, brought an amazing comfort and joy. We have yet to hear Babies heartbeat but we can wait four weeks after this experience!
