So this past Friday I went to the doctor for my 12 week appointment. I was really looking forward to it because we were going to be listening to the baby's heartbeat. Except that when my doctor tried to find the heartbeat, she couldn't. She actually couldn't get much of anything on the Doppler, not even my heartbeat. Unfortunately it was the end of the day on Friday so there wasn't anything I could do until Monday morning. Needless to say, it was a long and worry-filled weekend. I spent a lot of time praying and pleading with the Lord that everything would be ok.
Thankfully our prayers were answered on Monday morning when we saw baby's heart beating strong and fast on the ultrasound! Looks like we've got a gymnast on our hands- he/she was moving, jumping, bouncing around in there. No wonder they couldn't find the heartbeat. Little thing wasn't still for a minute!
Based on my measurements, my doctor pushed my due date back a week to June 8. Works great for me- that should hopefully get me to the end of the school year no problem! So this post is a repeat of week 12.
Week: 12
Weight gain: according to the doctor, I've gained exactly 1 lb. which is good

Best moment so far: seeing the heartbeat on the ultrasound for the 2nd time
Movement: still getting little flutters, and now after seeing the ultrasound I can understand it. Baby A is a mover!

Baby is the size of a plum this week!
