Ads in the spotlight (again)

So Addie is a MOVER. She has been since she was a pinto bean inside of me. My 2nd doctor's appointment I'm in on the table and Dr. Brown starts to listen for her heartbeat. He keeps moving the wand around and pausing as we hear nothing. I was starting to get really worried and panicked! He searches for a little while longer and tells me not to worry just yet. YET???? I thought absolutely sick to my stomach (pardon the pun) as he calls for the ultra sound machine to be brought in. I am frantically asking questions trying not to say the word dead or die as I spoke of my baby.
The ultra sound machine showed a moving bean and a beating tiny heart. I was so grateful, what a scare.
We played that game the next 2 times at Dr. Brown's office. Every appointment after that Dr. Brown was on a hunt to find Addie's heartbeat. When I was prepping for surgery the nurse finally just took the monitors off my belly for Addie since we had a missing baby the whole time.

Which brings me to this video...

Elsie didn't move. She was 10 months before she rolled over. I'm sure a world record or something. With that said, we just thought all babies rocked themselves in their car seat, or bounced themselves out of their bouncer. People would make comments all the time about Addie rocking her car seat. At my uncle Bob and aunt Mimi's Sunday night everyone was so impressed with Addie's skill and were asking if we have it recorded. NO, parents of the year hadn't even thought of that. So here is Addie rocking in the car seat.
