Ultra Sound

Oops! I forgot to update yesterday. I guess with all the excitement it slipped my mind. Well, we have one little bun in the oven. It was SO amazing to hear the heart beat. Casey had sent me a text earlier in the day and said his mind had been wondering all day. Our appointment wasn't until 2:15. I made it as late as possible so Casey could go, but it sure made for a long day. When we got in the room the ultra sound technician said, "I am going to check everything out so do not get worried when I do not say anything at first, then I will tell you as much as I can". Then after about 40-60 seconds she said "there we go, one good heart beat". I think I just felt relieve and Casey just smiled; it was relieve for us both. She pointed out the flicker. Then she pushed a few more buttons and we heard the heart beat. She said and "there is your babies heart beat, 144 that is a good strong heart rate." We looked at each other and just smiled. We then talked about how amazing it was that even though it was only 7 weeks old that you could hear a strong heart beat like that! I am so glad that technology has come so far that we can hear the amazing miracle that God has blessed us with-what a moment!
So it was not two, which everyone thought. Actually we got some people trying to say it was going to be three or four! God's plan for us was to have one healthy baby. As much as I think it would have been amazing to have twins, apparently that was not his plan. I am just thrilled that his plan was for us to become parents. I am feeling pretty good. I have been pretty tired and I had heart burn Sunday and Monday, but besides that I am doing well. We have shared the news with everyone! Well, Casey has! he put something on facebook so you know it is out now. Sometimes it is still hard for me to believe. I know that I am pregnant, but it is really a weird feeling when something you have wanted and tried for; for SO long, had surgery's and procedures, been on steroids, fertility, etc....for so long and then all of a sudden after 5 years someone looks at you and says "your pregnant" it just doesn't seem to sink in. I have to keep reminding myself that it is true! this is happening!! I will be a mom! Yippee!!!!
