You should see your little bean and see the heart beating, super cool :) congrats!!!!
I didn't get to hear the beat until my 20 week scan.
But mine did move around like a jumping bean lol.

Why did it take so long to hear the heart beat

Yu may have to get the probe ultrasound it is very uncomfortable also make sure your bladder is full

The one I got at 8 weeks was a viginal scan, so it's just image, no sound. Basically they stick this ward inside you just a little and get a reading, not too bad.
The one at 20 weeks is the normal ultrasound, gel on your belly and all. You will get to hear the heartbeat for sure then. Some place can even give you the recording and photos on a cd.
My favorite part of all the doctor's visit was when the nurse look for the heartbeat with a doppler at the beginning of every visit :)
