12 Weeks

Saturday April 2nd marked 12 weeks for us which means we've made it a full three months!  We went to our 12 week appointment on Friday and met our OB for the first time, and spent most of the appointment waiting (almost an hour to be exact).  We met Dr. Hurry and she was absolutely amazing, she told us she would get us an ultrasound so we could see baby and make sure our due date was accurate (even though we knew it was accurate she just could tell we wanted to see another picture of the peanut).  After waiting another 30 minutes to get into the ultrasound room we FINALLY got to see the peanut on the big screen and for the first time heard the heartbeat!! 

Words cannot explain how it feels to hear that tiny heartbeat that is inside of you.  We haven't been able to hear the heartbeat because our little swimmer has never cooperated with the doppler, but this time with the ultrasound we could see baby and hear the heartbeat all at the same time.  We are exact on our due date, baby measures perfectly, and the heartbeat is strong.

After seeing the heartbeat and cleaning up our OB sat down to have a "conversation" with us which truly scared the CRAP out of me.  Turns out that she is moving to Africa in 2 years and won't be doing OB while she is training...sooooo after meeting her and loving her we will be changing doctors.  Overall it's for the better because I've heard amazing things about another doctor in the practice that delivered all of my friends babies.  When in doubt go with a doctor that has been recommended!
