Today was the ultrasound (it was moved a day due to a more urgent situation). I have to confess: up until today I was in a sort of denial. I was happy about the baby, of course. But having two consecutive pregnancies end in miscarriage, I was a bit skeptical. In a way, it didn't seem completely for real, if I'm making any sense. Obviously I felt pregnant, my tummy was growing, morning sickness, the whole nine yards. But the whole time, I was wondering; Is it for real this time? Is the baby actually ok? Is there really a heartbeat? I hadn't realized how much I was worrying about this until Darling and I were in the waiting room. I had the butterflies so bad I could have thrown up, and also wanted to cry-I didn't realize I was so scared. We got called in. Here we go, I thought, It's going to happen all over again, isn't it? Glad I remembered to put on my waterproof mascara, I was thinking. (I know, crazy, right?)
So when that screen came on, and I saw that baby, our baby, I thought, Ok, this is a first, a bigger baby, good so far. Then our little love moved and wiggled around, and I heard that heartbeat, a strong, steady heartbeat. It was like a huge wave of relief and excitement came over me. Our baby IS ok, it's going to be ok! It was so beautiful to see him/her, and hear the heartbeat, tears started running down my face, I just couldn't help it!
So now, introducing our baby...
I think the 3D is so neat! And, If you look close, looks like our little one might be a boy! Although it is too early to say for sure, but time will tell. Anyway, the big thing is that Little Love is healthy!!!!!!
