February 6, 2010

I'm marking my calendar! After today's wonderful Dr. visit I'm so hopeful about meeting this little one!

I went in for my first ultrasound today with hopes that everything was o.k. at this point and it was. I've never heard one of our babies heartbeats in such an early scan, but there it was loud and clear at 126 bpm. I saw the reassuring flickering, but then to actually hear the sound was music to my very nervous ears.

The Dr. had my progesterone level checked today and has prescribed a supplement just in case it should dip. She is "cautiously optimistic", but couldn't be more pleased with what she saw today. Because the ultrasound showed the baby measuring at 6 weeks and 3 days my due date will be February 6, 2010.

I will continue to be on my knees praying for the health of our new little love and for the peace that got me through some nerve wrecking days last week to continue to take the front seat. O.k., to be totally honest I'm going to pray that if God could send me comforting reassurance through something other than nausea that would be great too.

I know we're not in the clear yet, but I feel better than "cautiously optimistic."

I feel full of HOPE!
