Bitty baby is stubborn, following suite in the Vinson family. He/she likes to hide when doing an ultrasound and giving mama a little breakdown. Yet, they were able to find little one and see heartbeat and finally got to see some movement!

All the appointments we’ve had over the years, I still stress at baby appointments. The longer I wait in the waiting room, the longer I have time to dwell on what could go wrong at the appointment. I don’t watch the screen during the ultrasound, I watch the face of the ultrasound tech to get a read of if I should look at the screen or just shut my eyes. If they say, do you see the flicker of heartbeat, and I don’t personally see it, I have a tendency to question if it’s really there. Each vial of blood taken, I wonder what’s going to come back not in our favor. I can’t turn it off. I would love to attend an appointment where I can happily bounce into the Dr office and assume everything is going to go great. Then I remember the first time we were in the Dr office and I did this and I walked out silently in tears. So ya, guess it’s normal response to appointments now? 🤷 Thankfully, the appointment went well today (after they found little ones heartbeat), healthy 172 heartbeat and I got to see he/she move like crazy!

Little one’s “vanishing twin” still has yet to “vanish,” so we will wait to see when that happens. It is still a little bittersweet to see little one that is the size they are supposed to be and a smaller one that just stopped growing. I know God has a plan for these strong babies we get to bring in the world. And so grateful to get to watch them grow and give them hugs as much as possible.
