At our ultrasound appointment we got such great news! Baby has a heartbeat! We got to see it and she said the rate was perfect (note to self to ask about how many beats next time). It so crazy how baby went from being a dot at 5 weeks to seeing a head and body a week and a half later!
Somehow this is moving fast yet so slow all that the same time.
Brian is absolutely incredible and so supportive. The hours I spent in pain in the he spent awake with me either holding me, helping put pressure where it hurt, or by pouring warm water on my tummy to help the heat kick in faster.
When I am scared, he prays with me and comforts me, not showing even an ounce of fear. His bravery and strength astounds me - especially later on when he tells me that on the inside he was freaking out all of those scary nights. But then we get to see this - and it's a reward for all the pain. My body is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing to create this home for baby for the next several months.
We are still in disbelief that all of this is real - but it's happening, and we couldn't be more excited for our future, and our family.
Our next appointment is on September 27th, which feels
really far away.
Can't wait to post this journey. :)
