We had our second ultrasound (technically, although we didn't get to see you on the first) and were so nervous to get in there and see you that day. I will admit, I've been struggling with the thought of losing you, so I was so nervous that day - what if there was no sac to see? I should've been around 6 weeks, so there should have been a sac with you in it at this point...and then I could only dream that I would've saw your heart beating too. I didn't want to get my hopes up going into all of this, just in case it wasn't there. So, I didn't have to be nervous long, there was the sac, and there you were. And guess what? Your heart was already beating away! I couldn't believe it! I just kept looking over at your Daddy and he was a little teary-eyed like me! She asked your Daddy and me if we wanted to hear your heart beat too (like we'd say no, right?) and of course we said yes. So, she turned on the sound waves and there it was! Beating away at 117 beats/minute. I was ecstatic. Your Daddy was too. It made YOU soooo real. I haven't felt super pregnant, just a few things here and there...so this made all those worries go away...how crazy that you are the size of a grain of rice and you have a heart beat? God is so amazing, having you inside of me has taught me that more than ever before. The nice tech lady told us that you were probably 6 weeks and 2 days in the making - which put you to meet us for the first time on December 7th! She also said that if you wanted to come a little earlier on November 29th, that you could - that was her birthday. =) I'll take you whenever you are healthy, little one!
That's your heartbeat on the left/middle of the oval. There are bright little lines stack on top of each other...that's it - just beating away! You're just the size of a grain of sand at this point, so can't see much else!
