Stressfull but Exciting

We went to the doctor again today. We were going to hear the heartbeat. The nurse that took me back I don't really care for but I thought it would all be ok. So she did her usual routine you know weighing me (which I am proud to say I haven't gained anything yet!), taking my blood pressure,and so on. Then she said the doctor will be just talking to you today but I am going to listen to the heartbeat. Which is what we have been waiting for. My worst nightmare all along has been that we would go to hear the heartbeat and there wouldn't be one. So she said to me lets see if this baby is going to cooperate, so what felt like an hour but was probably only about 10 min. she tried to find the heartbeat and could not find one. She said sometimes that just happens but I will let the doctor know and see what he wants to do. By this time I am thinking that my worst nightmare is coming true, there is no heartbeat. I could also see the fear in Kevin's eyes. So when she left the room I started to cry, but Kevin kept telling me it would be ok. So she came back and said the doctor wanted to do an ultrasound just in case so they moved me to the next room. I layed there and waited trying to calm myself down. When my doctor came in I said I'm scared and started to cry he said don't be it will be alright. It took him about 2 min. and he found the beautiful sound of the baby's heartbeat. It sounds strong so after all that stress now we can be excited!
