Ok so like i had said i had thought i was feeling movement from baby around thanksgiving but then nothing again, went to the midwives so i could hear the heartbeat and everything was great! Monday Dec. 12th is here and i take ruby to school and im gonna pick her up early so we can all meet at the Imaging office to see the Baby and find out what we are having. I went to grab some lunch and grocery shop before getting Ruby. I texted my sister in law and mother in law in Phoenix to see how Natalie (SIL) is doing bc she is having a little boy any day now. While on the phone she tells me she scheduled an induction for thursday Dec. 15th at 5 am bc her boy was ready to come out, i got a call and missed it. When i called back the number it was the Imaging office telling me i had missed my appointment at noon! I was freaking out bc i knew i had been told 2:15 i had a card and everything and i was so anxious/excited! The receptionist told me to come in the very next day at 2:15pm instead so i didnt have to be rushed through an appointment. HOLY DISSAPPOINTMENT! Well i had a midwives appointment that night anyways so at least i knew id get to hear the heartbeat tonight, some comfort. Chris came home and we ate dinner and got in the car with Ruby and went to our appointment. We had Emily (CNMW) that night for the first time, which is their rules, to try to meet a new midwife with each visit so you know them all when its time to deliver. Well Emily was great let me tell you, she was awesome with Ruby and had just a really great spirit about her, i dont know i just felt really connected and it felt great. Ruby helped her put the jelly on my belly and move the doppler around to hear baby, and there he/she was with a nice strong heartbeat and i sighed with relief out loud. I always do well i should say i always do something when i hear it, cry, sigh or smile really big. Last appointment i cried this time i sighed with such relief and Emily said "sounds great honey, good strong heartbeat" Ruby was so happy and excited she just lit up. I said honey tomorrow we will go see a pitcture of the baby and see if its a boy or a girl. So we left and went home to relax and get some sleep before the big day! I could hardly sleep, tomorrow i get to do what i have been waiting for, tomorrow i get to see my baby and know that i will see him/her bc i just heard the heartbeat. Oh what lies we are told when we are pregnant, I'll get to that later.
