Doctor's Visit
Yesterday I went for my regular doctor's visit. We did not get to hear the baby's heartbeat this time which again makes me worry a little. It is not uncommon to be unable to pick it up before 12 weeks. However since they heard it last week at 10 weeks the doctor wants me to come back in two weeks to make sure everything is okay. He didn't feel that anything was wrong or he would have sent me for an ultrasound. He said everything was looking normal and the baby is probably behind the pubic bone making it hard to detect the heartbeat. I wish I would have told him I really wanted to have an ultrasound done but I didn't. I will just have to wait 2 weeks to make sure everything is okay. That is torture but it is better than 4 weeks! Anyway I am positive that everything is okay. It is just so hard not to worry but I am just trusting in God that He will take of this little one for us!
When I was pregnant with Hannah I didn't worry about anything! My pregnancy with her was like reading a textbook! I never really understood some people's paranoia about pregnancy until now. Although this post doesn't sound positive, I am really being positive. I am not a negative thinker. I will think positively until I have no reason to think that way anymore! I would just appreciate your prayers!

Prayers coming your way! Love, Lisa
I'm thinking and praying for you. I know it's hard not to worry. We had a few "peace of mind" ultrasounds with Harper. My doc (at H&W by the way) was very generous in letting us take a peek to make sure things were a-ok. It is pretty much up to them to decide if they think it's 'medically necessary' you have one... and to be honest, it differs doctor to doctor as to how lenient they can be. We did end up renting a doppler to use at home for a few months (not very expensive at all) and it helped ease our minds a lot. And plus, it was just fun. I highly recommend it, mainly just for something fun to do and a great way to involve Hannah.
Consider yourself prayed for, lol! Love you all
It is hard not to worry, I know, but you know that the nurse really had to work to get the heartbeat last week- and it is still early (according to my research- you know I had to check it out!). According to what I read today, most heartbeats are not detectable to after 12-14 weeks. I am holding firm that all is well! We love you and are praying for you and this wee one that is going to bring us so much joy.
We are keeping you guys in prayer.
You are in my prayers.
We are thinking of you and praying for you and baby Courington. I have not experienced pregnancy myself, but I think I worried more about Harper and Teale than anything before in my life. I am confident that he/she is doing wonderfully, just hiding for now. :)
