**I wrote about my nerves going into each appointment. On my way to the doctor’s office I actually was fighting tears back.. I don’t know why I get so emotional about it all, but I was really starting to feel the nerves and I just prayed for peace the whole way there. The doctor gets the Doppler all ready and puts it on my bare belly. Apparently baby felt it because he/she jabbed REALLY hard.. I mean, I JUMPED it startled me so much. Anyway, Dr. nice guy was moving the Doppler all over the place and was not finding anything. I could occasionally hear my own heartbeat through it, but not often. Normally, I would have started to panic, but I had just been karate chopped by the baby after all. The doctor finally says “This thing is not even doing what it is supposed to. I’ll be right back.” As soon as he comes back in, he finds the heart beat right away, and the baby sounds perfect. I am just thankful that God allowed me to feel that kick before things started to happen so that I was able to remain at peace the whole time.
