Reassurance

Today I had another doctor appointment.

I am 14 1/2 weeks.

Just a little further along than the last time when I lost the baby.

I have been a little bit of a wreck.

I met with a different doctor because mine was out of town.

He was the nicest, friendliest, funniest old man.

He came in and got right to it trying to find the heartbeat.

And there it was. Strong and perfect.

He admitted that he was a little nervous for me because he'd seen that "darn miscarriage" in my file.

But now he said I could tell the whole world if I hadn't already, because everything looked great.

It was the best reassurance I could've asked for.

I found out later from my mom that he was the same doctor who delivered me.

I wish I could've known so I could've said something.

Thank you Dr. Rasmussen.

I am pretty sure it was Dr. Rasmussen who delivered me too. That is too funny. I am so happy for you. You are going to be a great mom.

Those appointments can be so scarey. I'm so relieved for you that the doc found the heartbeat right away! Good luck with everything!
