Well, well, well... I guess it's the "Tunila" coming out of them kids. Our babies are very competitive and do things on their own time table ;)
At today's appointment the doctor tried to find the heartbeat with the monitor and couldn't (that was a short sentence, in real life, that was about 5 minutes ending with me in tears and eyes shut praying). Then she said, "Not to worry, this happens, let's do a sonogram to confirm everything is fine." So we did. And it was. Fine, that is. Baby just wasn't ready for us to hear her/his heartbeat... VERY similar to his/her older brother as Mike reminded me. We had the exact same thing happen with Dyson at 13 weeks. (This did not make today's visit any less unnerving - my heart was racing!)
I think I got my first glimmer of a "just because you've done this before doesn't mean it's any easier or less stressful" mommy moment. The lesson I'm taking away from this is 1) just to expect all the same jitters as I had when I was pregnant with Dyson, 2) when in doubt pray like heck and 3) again, it's nice to know I have my rock (daddy) in the appointments with me to calm me down and put things in perspective.
