The Second Appointment - 8 Weeks

After our first appointment somehow Jordan and I were a bit of a mess. We were excited, and unsure, and nervous of course, but mostly it all felt like it was too good to be true. Once we began to tell others of our news things became more real, but we new until we saw the sonogram and heard the heart beat we would be anxious.

Well the day finally came, April 4th. We went into the doctors office anxious about what to expect. 

Would there be more than one baby.... Would it have a heart beat...

Is everything healthy???

The moment we saw the sonogram our hearts leapt with joy.

There it was, our little peanut. 

Then we heard that sweet little heart beat. The one thing that got us so much closer to being out of risk of having a miscarriage.

Of course these are the only two things we were hoping for, so we were absolutely delighted!

Then the sonogram technician said do you see it wiggling?  
  

Our little peanut was moving! It was waving its little head and hands around. We could even SEE the heart beating! I felt like my heart was going to explode. Here I was terrified of a miscarriage while God is blessing us with such a BEAUTIFUL MIRACLE!

The rest of the appointment went great! The doctor said everything is wonderful, and the baby was even measuring  3 days bigger than expected. Now all we do is wait for the next appointment, and pray. 

At our next appointment I will be 13 almost 14 weeks. We will be beginning the 2nd Trimester, and saying goodbye to the high risk of a miscarriage. I am anxious to reach this point.  Please keep us in your prayers as we continue on this wonderful journey!
