Our ultrasound this morning!

This morning, we had an ultrasound to make sure the baby was progressing as it should because of the issues I was having earlier in the pregnancy. Our appointment was at 10am and I was feeling a little stressed on the way to the hospital. It's just that this little one already means so much to me and I was so hopeful and anxious to see that heartbeat!

Steven came with me in the room and within 30 seconds of starting the ultrasound, the tech found the baby and, to our absolute joy, the heartbeat! Steven and I were just amazed to see that tiny flicker on the screen...it was SO amazing and I felt a wave a relief just wash over me. Steven was thrilled as well and he said that it made everything seem more real for him.

The tech also informed us that the little one was measuring exactly at 7 weeks...he/she is .68 of a centimeter long! The ultrasound went perfect and we are just overjoyed. I keep staring at the pictures they gave us and it's amazing that I could love something so small so much. :)

We took the pics over to mom and dad's and they were both overjoyed as well. We just feel so absolutely blessed and pray every night that the Lord keeps this little one safe and progressing.

Here are the pics of our little one:

On the pregnancy front, today the morning sickness has kicked in. If I am not starving (even after eating), I feel like I am going to hurl and my stomach is upset. It's funny how my stomach goes from upset to hungry, back to upset in about 2 minutes. I don't care though...it just means our baby is growing!

Next OB appointment will be at the 9 week mark, February 9th. Perhaps after then, I may feel more comfortable letting others know.

Have a fabulous Monday everyone!
