our sweet baby at 10 weeks and 2 daysSo today I had a dr's appt. with the nurse practioner at Dr. R's office. Brycen went with me because it should of been a short appointment... well it wasn't. He did really well waiting though. She tried to find the heartbeat w/ the doppler... and couldn't. Um, yah. I actually felt peace about it. I didn't feel like anything was wrong... They did my labs and then I went and had an ultrasound and there was our sweet babies heart beating away (184, I believe she said). Whew, I was relieved. Even though I was peaceful about it, it was still a scare, a scare I didn't really need or want... but a reminder that life is so precious and you just never know. It was a neat u/s for Brycen to get to see. I'm glad he got to see. I'm sure it makes it a lot more real for him! The baby waved at us w/ it's little arms (that just developed in the last week b/c we didn't see them at the u/s last week) and he/she turned flips and wiggled around. He/She was very squirmy! Brycen said, "Yep, it's a boy, I can see it, it's a boy!" lol. He sure is hoping.
We had a fun day after my appointment... ran a couple errands. I had to get a baby shower gift at Babies R Us and a wedding gift at Target... then Brycen and I ate at Red Robin. Then we got ice cream at Cold Stone! Stopped by my Aunt Lisa's work on our way home to take her her order from my 31 party. Kayla's (her daughter in law) date to get her cervical stitches out is set for Sept. 29th I believe! I'm so excited to meet Kaydee Mae. She is at 29 weeks this week so they (and all of us) are breathing a little easier as each week comes and goes and Kaydee doesn't make an appearance.
Brycen starts his new school on Monday... He got a new backpack today. I hope the new school thing goes okay. I'm very nervous, but praying it will be fine.
Well, I need to get in bed. It's past my bedtime, but I wanted to update tonight on my appt. or I was afraid I wouldn't get it done.
We did 26 quarts of green beans tonight. I'm pooped!

So glad that your appt went good! I bet Brycen was excited to see his soon to be brother/sister on the ultrasound screen!!
Hope your having a great week!
I had a heartbeat scare at an appointment with Pierce too.. I was actually pretty far along, but whew, not fun!
Oh Chelsa, I can't belive how much bigger he/she has gotten!! Glad Brycen did good for you, he's such a little man:)
wow what a scare but I am so glad everything is okay!!! The US picture is precious!!
I was telling Jeremy about the HR scare and he said he would have choked somebody!! I think I'm right there w/him...but it does remind you that we aren't guarenteed anything in life. I'm soooo glad things went good for ya!
What a cool little ultrasound picture!! Also 36 quarts of green beans doesn't sound like resting??? ha ha... I hope you took time to put your feet up!!! Glad your appt went smoothly!
Yes, we also haven't been able to hear the heartbeat on my belly yet until the end of my 13 week appt last time! Even at the beginning when he put the doppler on me, we couldn't hear it right away. I also had peace, which is strange for me :) But all of a sudden there it was beating away! Thank you God!! I am so happy your little bean is growing and healthy :) Love ya!
I am glad that was just a LITTLE scare and that little boy/girl is still growing strong!! I bet Brycen thought it was so neat to see his brother/sister on the screen. Glad you had a good day yesterday and some good food!! Cold Stone (especially the cake batter) is my fav!!!!
Glad Baby Knepp is okay. Praise God.
And 26 quarts? Jolly Green Giant didn't can that many.
I'm happy for you. But what are you going to do if you have a girl this time. Cause I think you need a little girl just like you!
I'm hoping she warned you she might not hear the HB with the doppler? We typically don't even try on girls less than 12 weeks unless they are super tiny like you. ;) I'm glad Baby is ok and you got such a cute picture!
that lil babe is growing and im still praying for a girlie! ha sorry B!
Aw, congrats. Glad all is ok!
Glad baby is healthy and strong. Get some rest girl! That day will come when you will be waking up every 2-3 hours at night!
Praying for your little baby!
