18-3-2009 - So So Happy...and Relieved

My mood while writing this blog: happy

---

I'm so happy...I haven't tried our home doppler in a couple weeks because even though I was able to find the heartbeat as early as 10 weeks...I had a hard time finding it for more than about 5 seconds at a time. I've been having some strange and crazy dreams with the latest being that I had another miscarriage...so I started to let my emotions get the best of me. Tonight, within about 5 minutes of trying, I found his/her little heartbeat...no doubt in my mind. It began at 161 and went up to about 168...and I was able to hear it for well over a minute...and could have longer if I had wanted to! Any of the rest of you that are trying home dopplers and aren't having any luck...just keep trying, you'll find it, and it will be the happiest moment ever! I kept running into my own heartbeat off my placenta when I tried on the sides of my uterus...when I tried almost right in the center...there it was! Now I can relax a few more days until our ultrasound on Monday. I've been wanting to tell my parents this coming weekend since they will be staying at our house on Sat night...but I was afraid to tell them, than find out Monday maybe something wasn't ok. Now I think I have the courage to say something and be confident that I'm not jinxing myself!

I understand how hard it is to be excited and start tellig people... take your time... you don't need to tell anyone until you feel comfident... have a nice visit with your folks!
