We heard the baby's heartbeat at the doctor on Wednesday. That little galloping noise was one of the best things I have ever heard in my life! Ryan & I were grinning from ear to ear. It was funny: she found the heartbeat almost immediately, then we heard him/her kick (it sounded like these little "bloops") then s/he hid, so the doctor had to find it again. It was a strong heart beat of 160bpm, which she said is perfect. It made the pregnancy seem more "real" to me, and I am amazed at how intricately God works. To carry one of His children is truly a blessing. I am 11 weeks 3 days preganant today. Depending on what site or reference you use, I either enter my second trimester on April 1st or April 4th. I am going with April 4th. I am very excited to tell the BSF ladies at our next fellowship on that day. And the following week, I'm going to tell people at work. I am continuing to pray for perfect growth and development and protection from miscarriage. I have said it a hundred times: this baby is God's baby, and his/her life is in God's hands. Even though I am still anxious, I trust Him fully. Ryan is out of town right now, so I admit that I am a little more on edge than usual.
I can now feel my uterus above my pelvic bone. I thought my morning sickness was gone, but it came back pretty strong today to the point I thought I was going to throw up in the car driving home. Wouldn't that have been pretty? :) I have also noticed the last few days that heartburn is starting. I keep praying and hoping that my pregnancy is unlike my mom's in the fact that she threw up every day for six months, and her morning sickness didn't start until the end of the firs tri! Yikes!
Well...it's 10:33, and it's an hour past my bedtime. Off to sleep I go.
