We are thrilled . . . we just had our first doctor’s appointment and ultrasound today . . . and everything looks GREAT!!!
During the ultrasound, we got to see the baby waving at us and kicking its little feet. It was surreal to watch it moving around. We also got to hear the heartbeat – really strong at 173 beats-per-minute (he said “normal” was around the 160’s, so this was good!). Also, he measured the baby and it showed to be the exact length for my 9 weeks/4 days with an estimated due date of May 4th. So basically, the baby is RIGHT on schedule . . . again, such a good sign!
Here is one of the ultrasound pics. If you look closely, you will see the head on the left, a little arm waving to you in the middle, and its kicking feet on the right.
Overall, the doctor said the baby looks great . . . healthy. . . oh yeah, and he reassured us it was only one baby (whew!). I was wondering if I would cry when we saw the picture, but all I could do was laugh with joy! That made it a bit difficult to continue the ultrasound since laughing made my belly jump . . . but I just couldn’t help it.
We love our doctor and think the Lord brought us specifically to him. I am really thankful for him – I think his calm and reassuring nature will be just what I need during the pregnancy, and not to mention the labor/delivery!
Anyway, we just wanted to update you guys on how our day went. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRAYING FOR US AND FOR OUR LITTLE ONE! I am just thrilled that God has chosen to bless us with this child.
