The first ultrasound

We had to go in for an ultrasound because i've had some bleeding. I didn't expect to really hear anything b/c the doc said we probably wouldn't hear the heartbeat until 11 weeks. We started the ultrasound, and the lady said here's your baby, everything seems to look fine, and all the sudden she turns on the sound, and i hear this beating, i asked if it was my heart beat, she said nope, that's your baby's. It was a very neat moment! Everything looks fine, i just have some old blood in there that's coming out.

Our First Appointment

Today we had our first appointment, and it was so exciting. We had a little scare, i started to bleed a little bit, and it really scared me. But after being scared and upset for a few days, i just gave it to GOd. WHy is it we can trust God in the little things of life, but when it comes to actually trusting Him in the big things, we try to do it ourselves. There still is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong, but i did just learn to take joy in this pregnancy each day and not worry about it every day. It's easier said then done, and while your in that situation it's definately hard. But doable. Today the doctor was so great, i really like our obgyn. They ran through all these questions with me. Do you have this disease? no This one? no THis one? no, Do you smoke, do drugs, drink.....blah blah....... uhhhh no. Then the doctor says, you are such a breath of fresh air. I was so touched by his comment, but yet so sad that they even have to ask all that. Then he asked me if we would want to test to see if our baby would have any abnormalities. I said, what's the point, i 'm not going to love that baby any less, or do anything else about it. He just smiled, and said good. I was surprized by all these questions. He said it was mandatory. Anyways today it felt like a step towards the next nine months. He said everything looked great, and in place. We were so excited after our appointment. Every woman can experience pregnancy, but it's also different with each one, and exciting in different ways for each woman. My doctor said to me, isnt' it exciting to go through this with your husband and knowing a little you will be here soon. And it's true. I'm thankful for Jon, who he is as a man, and a husband. We are so blessed!
