Hello all! We had our 2nd visit with the baby doctor today. They were supposed to just use the doppler to check Baby's heartbeat, but couldn't find it (yes, I started crying here). So then they tried the old ultrasound machine that's on a cart and still couldn't find it (But they reasured me that this was okay for how early I am and gave me the reasons not to cry again.). So then they sent me down the hall to the newer ultrasound machine. This one worked! We got to hear Lil' Westbrook's heartbeat again and see the baby again...who was moving quite a bit. This was so cool to see our baby kicking it's legs and moving its arms. Wow. And the heartbeat...WOW!!! That's the sweetest sound in the world! Oh, made my day!!! And, while she was doing the ultrasound, she switched it over to the 4D for us to get a glimpse of Baby like that! Wow! How cool!
When she was in 4D she pointed its arms, which, at the time, were stretched back as far as they would reach behind its head. So Keith said, "Look the baby already sleeps like me." Which is true, he does sleep like that. I've got pictures of him as a baby sleeping with one or both arms behind his head...and he still does it now.
Here's the latest stats on Lil' Westbrook:
Length - 5.4 cm (just over 2 in. long)
Heartbeat - 156 bpm
Measuring at 12w2d
My GA = 11w5d
Here's the first picture:
Here's the 4D picture:
Thanks for checking up on us!

The ultrasound picture is the sweetest! The heartbeat scare happened to me too. Isn't the feeling awesome that comes over you when you finally see the baby and realize everything is ok. This scare happened to me around 6 months too, at least you get more ultrasounds when it happens :)
I am so glad that everything is ok! Oh... and I think it is a boy, if you are taking predictions!
Great girl!! I am so glad that you were able to hear the heartbeat and actually get some more ultrasound pics!! That is always a good thing! Can't wait to meet him or her!!
I am definitely taking predictions! I think it's fun to try guessing until we find out. I'm leaning towards boy too since the heart rate has been 158 or less.
Isn't it amazing?!? I loved getting to hear the heartbeat at every visit! I'm glad that everything turned out okay...and that you got to have an ultrasound and see him/her! Hope that you are feeling great!
So cute!
We're celebrating today too. My school met the federal goal and went up 57 points to more than meet our state goal. YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Say "Hi!" to your parents.
I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger.
Awesome Lisa! These are great pictures! I can't wait to rub the belly next week! Presley is excited to tell you all about how wonderful it will be to be a mommy!
