Second Doctor's Appointment


We ended up going to our second appointment a little early because I had a little bleeding (no cramping) and it freaked me out a little, but I also had peace about it. I kept hearing through my thought process (which I know was God) that said you didn’t get pregnant to lose it. This is your baby and everything is going to be ok. So, I called the Doctor and they wanted me to come in so they could check me out to make sure all was well. I ended up having to see a different doctor because mine only works 2 days a week and they were able fit me in. At 8 weeks along the chances of miscarrying are pretty high so it was best that I go in.
Once they called me back the doctor did an exam and then said she would like to do an ultrasound to see how things looked. I had Shawn hold my hand and as she panned over our little baby (that looked like a peanut) I cried! After 8 long years of waiting I finally got to see our little peanut. I had had ultrasounds before to check other things out and wished every time that they would stumble upon a little baby, but that never happened, so now to see MY little baby was so incredible.  The doctor stayed in the room and explained everything that we were seeing and saw where the blood was coming from and reassured us that everything looked just fine. Then the doctor asked the tech to see if we could hear the heartbeat and sure enough we were able to hear a STRONG heartbeat. Our chances of miscarrying dropped significantly to 5 to 10%. Now it’s safe to tell people! SCORE!
8 weeks

Upon leaving this appointment we had our babys’ first pictures!  We also ended up switching doctors. We love Dr. Baur and love how she explained everything to us. She’s very confident and she is there all the time.
