Well a month and a few worries later I was able to go in for my next doctors appointment. This past week my stomach has been feeling very sore, and I have been experiencing sharp 'gas'-like pains. You know like when you have had surgery and they have pumped air into your body. Yeah, NOT fun. I arrived a bit late to the appointment so I was put straight into my room where the doctor came in and tried to find the little heartbeat. It took a while. He could not find it at first and I was slightly worried. Could those pains have been the beginning of a miscarriage? Another part of me worried that he would not find it because I had to much fat blocking the way.
Eventually he found my heartbeat and then a strong rapid fire baby beat appeared. It was at this time that I remembered that I wanted to record the event as David had not been able to make it to the appointment. The doctor readily agreed and grabbed the camera for me. Thus started the search again. We tried the same spot, moved a bit, moved to the other side, and tried again. No luck. Every time we would get close and hear a little something the baby would move away. By the end the doctor and I were both laughing at the fuilty of attempting to capture this beautiful sound. Sadly David was not able to hear the heartbeat. However, we do know that we have a mover on our hands. Hopefully we can see that on our next ultrasound.
In other news: School ended the last week of April. David got great grades and is pumped to begin his next semester in the culinary program. I on the other hand am a little nervous about how I will be able to handle him working and going to school when I have a new baby to deal with. Oh well, that's life I guess. This month things at work got out of control on David's front. He finally caved and applied for a new job. (I have been begging him to do just this for months.) Lucky for him he happened to catch the owner for our favorite restaurant group Heritage Restaurant Co. at Communal. He was interviewed on the spot, asked to come back for a second, and quickly asked if he would mind a working interview. Long story short, he got the job! He starts the 6th of June and is WAY excited. In all honesty this is our dream job. If he can work with this company and they are as good as we have heard, he may be able to work his way up and we can stay in the valley. I'm praying for just this.
