BIG WEEK FOR BABY HALL

Last Wednesday was our 12 week doctor appointment. I was seeing the midwife (Christy). After a bad midwife experience with anna, I was a little worried but she was so great!! She talked with me for a while about how things are going and went on then to use a doppler to find the heart beat. She tried for about 5 minutes and was only detecting my heartbeat so she took me down to the utrasound room where I was #5 on the waiting list. Talk about a scary time, I felt like I waited for hours but really it was only about 15 minutes. The ultrasound lady found the baby right away but it was moving around soooo much, she had a hard time getting a solid reading to get the heart rate (HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF). After about 7-10 minutes of chasing the wild child around my belly, she finally got a solid reading of 156 BPM and she said "WOW, no wonder Christy couldn't find a good reading, that baby is bouncing all over the place". I was so excited to be able to see our little peanut again and especially to see that it is doing well and growing right on schedule!! Baby Hall was measuring right on 12 weeks and 6 days.















Also happening last week, my belly seemed to pop right out!! No denying there is a baby in there now :)
