I had my twelve week appointment this morning. When the midwife was unable to detect the heartbeat with the doppler, she sent me to the lab for an ultrasound. The twenty minutes between the midwife telling me she could not detect the heartbeat and me seeing the heart beating on the monitor felt like hours, but everything looks good. The heartbeat was good (I think she said 166 or maybe 162, my mind was foggy at the time), the baby is measuring right where he or she should be measuring, and the baby was moving all over the place. The technician actually said that the baby was probably too active for the doppler to pick up the heartbeat. What a relief.
I have gone back and forth about whether I should post my ultrasound photo. I think the photos are a bit creepy myself, but since I have this blog put into book form every three months, I decided to post it for my own scrapbooking purposes. So, here is the baby (12 weeks, 3 days):

That would have been very scary! I'm glad baby is doing well!
LOL about thinking the pics are creepy. I LOVE ultrasound pics! They do look like little aliens sometimes though.
Bummer that you are still having the nausea. The only food aversions I had were eggs and Panera Bread Co's Broccoli Cheddar soup. That smell made me gag! In fact, it was so bad that I haven't had a bowl of their soup since and it's been 7 years!
yay for almost the 2nd trimester!! I had that happen to me twice with the heart beat.. glad everything was okay!
Ultrasound photos: perhaps the only time when creepy and cute intersect!
Glad everything is OK! Keep well.
I'm glad the worst of it is over. I struggled with teeth brushing my whole pregnancy both times
So glad to hear that everything is going okay and that you are feeling a little better! (what a scary moment with the heartbeat tho!)
What a sweet little baby!!! I love ultrasound pictures too!
I hope you feel better soon! We just had our 3rd baby and with this last one I was just like you. I couldn't stand chicken and I wanted all things plain or chocolate...lol, go figure!
Glad that everything went well! I know that can be scary, especially in those first few weeks.
Blessings
Hooray for a healthy baby! I always love ultrasound pictures, and yours is nice and clear!
Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy will go smoothly!
new follower that I am I wanted to make sure I said congrats!!! Glad you posted the "creepy" ultra sound..i love them and they make me think about my little ones who are no longer little.
I am so glad all is well with the baby! The same thing happened with me with Jack and it was such a long wait like you said! Then, with Jesse I had terrible, heavy bleeding at 11 weeks for several days and didn't know if I would sustain the pregnancy, now that was the hardest of all. A healthy birth/baby is truly one of the purest forms of a miracle, IMO, that there is when you think of all that comes into play with the whole process.
I hope your morning sickness continues to slacken and just goes away. Funny, I've never had any aversions to chocolate either:-).
Forgot, I LOVE ultrasound pics. They are so sweet. If you end up not posting more, feel free to email them to me:-). I still have all of mine in our albums and love looking at them.
Congrats! We are due in June! Stay well. Karen
Wow. Yes, that would feel like many hours. So glad baby is doing well!
I'm so glad everything's ok!!! When I first glanced through before reading all the way and saw "no heartbeat" my heart just sank!!
And what a cute baby! I think the baby has your eyes! ;-)
So cute! Will you find out the sex?
I am so glad all is well with the baby! I hope your morning sickness goes fully away very soon and that you continue to feel better. I always keep my ultrasound photos in my kids baby books, too.
Ok, My heart just stopped beating for a minute. So glad they found a happy, healthy baby! I'm sure that must have been a tough 20 minutes. Cute u/s!
Great news! I hope your morning sickness improves soon.
What a scare! I am glad that baby is doing well. I am thinking it's going to be a chocolate-loving girl :)
I'm there with you on the chicken and the chocolate :) I crave plain food AND red meat... Bring on dome potatoes and a big ole' steak!
What a relief to see you sweet little one just fine and healthy.
Oh, I'm so glad the baby's okay. How good to hear he/she's an active little thing! The picture is adorable - not creepy at all :)
Hey, I ALWAYS felt like an alien took over my body whenever I was pregnant, so the ultrasound pics seemed to make sense to me... :0)
(SO glad to hear all is well with that little "alien" of yours!)
So happy that all is well with the baby and that your morning sickness is a bit better too!
The picture is beautiful! Not creepy at all!!
Very happy for you!
