Nerve Racking Doctor's Appointment

Well today marked our 2nd doctor's appointment. I will start by saying that everything is good but up to the point of finding that out I wanted to cry...along with Matt. After waiting 45minutes to see the doctor we were very excited about hearing the heart beat.
The doctor came in and did the "Doppler" thing where you can hear the heart beat. After 30 seconds of not hearing it he said, "it sometimes takes a few minutes..." After 4 minutes Matt piped in and said "does it normally take this long"... no response from the doctor. A total of 5 awkward minutes later of silence he tells us we need to go to another room. I wanted to ball my eyes out at this point because I knew something was not right.
We get in there and immediately I lay down and he does not even close the door to the room. He does a sonogram and there was our beautiful baby with a strong heart beat of 160 bpm. He said because of my bladder and placenta he could not hear it using the first device.
Matt and I were finally able to take a breath of fresh air and I left there emotionally exhausted!
