Another mind game, on a smaller scale.

At my 12 week appointment, my doctor couldn't pick up the heartbeat on her doppler. This was a fear I actually had going into the appointment. It had been a constant concern for me, that once we started to get excited and make plans something would happen. Why wouldn't it, given all we had already been through. My doctor didn't seem concerned, and suggested we use the in office ultrasound machine. 

I was bracing myself to be prepared for whatever happens. I was trying not to read too much into my fears.

And there, tucked over by my left ovary was little baby. Swimming away happily, heart thump-thump-thumping along merrily. And then, to my astonishment, Baby waved to me. I swear it. 

Now I just wonder what type of personality this kid will have? A prankster, maybe? An introvert? 6 months left to see what other fun games we'll experience with this one. The mighty #3.
