Thursday Mike and I went into the doctor for another check up on baby. I have been feeling baby move all week so that was comforting. What wasn't comforting was the spotting that happened throughout the week. The nurse came into the room carting babies microphone and began to look for the heart beat. It took her a minute to find it which was fine at first but the longer it took her the more my heart sped up. Finally, babies heart started racing audibly into the room(baby karaoke as Mike calls it). When the doctor came in she ordered an ultrasound to be done the next day just to make sure everything was still ok due to the spotting. Everything turned out to be fine, they couldn't find any explanation. The bonus was we got to walk away with the comfort of know that baby is still in there and as healthy as we can tell from out here. We got to see it's little hands and arms and legs, it's spine, heart, kidneys, brain and little feet that made me want to hold my baby. We also got a profile shot of baby that I have enclosed.
Babies first picture.
It was too soon to tell the sex of the baby, or so they said. I think she could tell but it sounded like they had gotten themselves into trouble saying it was one thing and then later it being another. So she said to wait a few weeks until it was crystal clear. Our next ultrasound is June 25th. Just for fun, any guesses as to what were having?

I think it's a girl. I totally know the feeling of freaking inside when it takes forever for them to find the heartbeat. I'm so glad all is well. I pray that there are no more "issues" from now on. Hey ~ we get to see you guys next weekend! Jeff and I are so excited...Tell Mike that Jeff wants him to know that he made a good choice in choosing McKinstry...'nuff said.

Well, I really don't know. Selfishly I want it to be a boy so Peyton has a buddy BUT if it's a girl, they could MARRY!!!!! Ha ha, just kidding, besides, he already has the hots for Audra Massee! :^) I'm just glad it's healthy and that you are doing fine. I'm sooo excited to have you here - we'll have so much fun! Love you!
