Sidenote: This ENTIRE time I have to pee so badly but don't want to go because my little pregnancy book said that I'd probably have a urine sample so I didn't want to go right before I get in the room then can't go on command. To Much information? Sorry, it comes in to play in a second. Scare #2 Will I ever get to pee?
So then I sit down, wait for a minute and the dr. comes in and has me lay down to see how big my uterus is. He says, whoa, you may be having twins! I blurt out "I hope not" which I quickly realize was very ungrateful to say but to be honest yes, I'd rather not start with two at once.
Scare #3 I'm having two twins (again, not THAT bad of a scare but still, kinda scary) Then I explain that I am about to pee my pants and he quickly tells me to use the bathroom then comes back and tells me that I feel much more normal.
Next the nurse comes in with her microphone thing to hear the baby's heartbeat. Well after 10 minutes of listening to what sounds like a rather windy day inside me, she starts asking if I've had any complications. Scare #4 I'm NOT having twins, instead I'm not even having A child.
Enter the scene from Marley and Me where Jennifer and Owen are excitedly having their first ultrasound at 10 weeks and there is no heartbeat. They go home heartbroken.
So then I start to focus as hard as I can on not prematurely starting to cry while the nurse's eyebrows furrow more and more.
I stay really brave and they take me to to ultrasound room right away and give me an actual ultrasound to see whats up and finally, there is my baby wiggling all over on the screen (which is why the microphone thingy couldn't pick it up) So I get an early ultrasound and even got to take home 4D pictures already! Pretty nice perk for having my own heart stop beating.
Here's the proof that someone's in there!

Wow Kacie! Those visits can be pretty scary. Thanks for preparing me for the movie so I don't bawl my eyes out :) I'm SO glad everything turned out wonderful and that he's so active. He or she and Carson will be great friends
OH my word, I seriously would have had a heart attack!!! Oh the baby is sooo cute!!! Congrats!!!
OMG! Congratulations! How exciting for you guys! I have been way out of the blogging loop. I've got to get back into it. I'm glad I checked! Hope all continues to go well! Take care!
Sometimes bedside manners and doctors do not go hand in hand. What was that nurse thinking, scaring you like that. Congrats anyway!!!! I hate the whole can't pee until they are ready for the sample. Piece of advice, if you ever have to pee and they aren't calling your name, just ask the receptionist if you can have a cup anyway. They will let you go back and use the bathroom. And then go back in the waiting room.
See, this why you two need to move to Newport Beach...our doctors won't scare you like that. I think I see a sack in one of those pics.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm so excited for you both. Enjoy all the moments of being pregnant, it is such an amazing miracle.
Sorry you had to go through all of that at the drs. Hopefully the next visit will go nice and smooth.
Kacie!!! Oh my gosh I am so excited to hear the pregnant news. Congrats. That is quite scary but luckily you got to see the baby and know its only one! Best of luck with the pregnancy and I hope you dont get sick. Hope to see you around soon.
Kacie,
I felt like I was right there with you during your story. I remember those moments of complete horror just hoping and praying that the baby is safe and sound. Looks like this one's going to be a little stinker! Hope you guys are doing well.
Congrats to you and Derek! That's so exciting! Trust me, they'll tell you alot of stuff in those appointments, and most of it is just pre-cautionary stuff. When we were about a little farther along we had an ultrasound and they took us strait into the doctor's office and sat us down and the nurse told us "Well, after seeing the ultrasound your baby has a hole in his heart". Talk about stress!! Come to find out she was wrong and NEVER should have taken us back there and said anything. Jack is fine, of course, but trust me, they lie alot! They also said he'd be 9-10 lbs because I got so big, he came out 6 even. Good luck though! Can't wait to see the updates and belly pics!!
