I think we can relax now

Phew! We had our second ultrasound this morning. We were nervous because it was at our second ultrasound with the twins when we discovered something was wrong. To make the event even more suspenseful/stressful they called us back 15 minutes late. They should know better!

So, we go in and right away she says the heartbeat is at 139. Right there, I knew. I knew that this baby is going to make it. That is half of what I wanted to hear. The second half came a few minutes later when she tells us the baby is measuring right at 7 weeks and one day. Well, according to our last ultrasound, that is exactly where I should be. The baby is growing!

So, we have reached three milestones that we did not achieve with the twins, growth, increased heart rate and morning sickness! It is just an incredible feeling. A polar opposite experience of the last pregnancy. Our little boy is thriving, and look how cute he is :D Granted, he still does not look like much, but he is gorgeous to me.

Of course, we will continue to hope for the best and pray for a healthy baby, but for right now we feel a sense of ease that is almost alien to us. I'm pregnant and I'm going to stay that way!!
