Heartbeat!

We had a doctors' appointment yesterday and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat!  It was the most amazing thing ever!!!  All the ladies at work told me they cried when they first heard the heartbeat but all I could do was SMILE :)  We did have a little drama at the appointment.  Here is the story:

Josh had to work at 5 and our appointment was at 4 so I told him that I have never gotten in on time so he didn't have to rush to get there.  I ended up getting in right away so had to text him to hurry up. 

In the mean time, Josh had been called in to work early to transfer an inmate to Sioux City.  He told them he couldn't take anyone to Sioux City as he was going to the doctor with me but told him that he could come in to take calls at 2 if someone else could take the inmate to Sioux City.  He ended up not getting a call until 3:55 which was 3 miles west of town.  He did end up getting to the clinic on time but while we were waiting for the doctor, he got a call from a detective that he had been trying to get a hold of all day.  He ended up taking the call and stepping outside. 

While he was outside the doctor came in and asked me all the routine questions.  Josh still had not come back in so Dr. Vandelune sent his nurse out to find him while he got the doppler ready.  The nurse came back and said she couldn't find him so I told Dr. V to go ahead that he probably got called away.  The minute Dr. V put the doppler on my stomach you could hear the heartbeat.  He even said that baby was moving around.  The heart rate was 164 bpm.  Dr. V then sent the nurse out one more time to find Josh but came back saying she couldn't find him.  Just as Dr.V had everything cleaned up, Josh walked in so we ended up getting to hear the heartbeat again!

While Josh was outside on the phone, a lady came frantically up to him asking him to help find her grandson.  Josh had to tell her to slow done because he couldn't understand anything she was saying.  He ended up telling the detective that he would call him back and ended up calling the city police to help as he wanted to get back in to hear the heartbeat.  They did end up finding the boy as the lady was supposed to to pick him up after school but had forgotten.

So in the end we both got to hear the heartbeat!
