Well after what seemed like a lifetime of waiting (about 3 1/2 weeks) we finally had our first ultrasound on Thursday. I wish I could tell you I was completely at peace and that I knew everything would be fine. But to be honest, I was unsure and I knew that I needed to see that little blob and hear that heartbeat to become completely excited about this baby.
My doctor reported that everything looked wonderful. The baby was exactly 8 weeks in size and the heartbeat was strong at 170 bpm. We even got to hear it! What an amazing thing.
So this is one milestone down. . .with many more to come. I continue to trust the Lord. . .for His faithfulness is the only sure thing we have to stand on. As we continue to walk this out and with each passing week, I find myself getting more and more excited and the fact that I am pregnant becoming more and more real.
I still have that settled peace in the bottom of my heart that this is it. . .and so I must tap into it. Sometimes every hour of every day I have to dig deep to access it. But I will. . .until I hold this baby in my arms. . .and I'm sure beyond.
