oye i hate that.... this little one was super tricky and always super low. I work in a hospital and we have a bedside ultrasound machine for emergencies and stuff and when I got worried I would occasionally take a quick peak when I couldn't find the HB... I stopped trying after a week or so since I couldn't pick it up on doppler and i was getting so nervous and i know your not suppose to do too many US but after having so many losses it was nice to see that wiggly little bean. Now i am starting to feel more so I am less worried and don't do it as much but will be thankful when this little one is big enough to feel all the time.

yeah but I have been able to find "her" higher the past 3 weeks. So it freaked me out when I wasn't able to find "her" in her "normal" spot.

so true...when I'm able to feel "her" more I'll be more comfortable. Being a mama of loss this just sucks the first trimester when you can't get constant movement

Erica I am sorry! I hope you start feeling regular kicks soon! I feel like I am finally there and I am the old person of the group (or rather my baby is... I hope I am not the oldest of the group!)

AFM - I had my non-OB ultrasound today and I think it was uneventful. It is amazing how much the liver looks like a cows! Nathaniel was boogie-ing down in there. So that was fun to see. They didn't do much on him other then check his heartrate. He was in the 140's.
