Today was our first ultrasound appointment and we were so anxious-nervous-excited because we didn't know what to expect. We have had no way of knowing if everything was progressing in the right way, because the only confirmation I have had up to this point was an at home pregnancy test (or should I say 10 at home pregnancy tests). :) Ever since my first post when we found out this exciting news I have been in constant prayer for this precious new life. I have placed everything in God's hands and I have asked over and over and over again for a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy baby. I've been praying ever since I can remember that one day my children would grow into humble, grateful and prayerful individuals with hearts for Christ, and that is still my prayer now that this dream has gotten closer to becoming a reality. It's still very early, which concerns me...but I trust that everything will play out how it is supposed to, whether or not it goes according to my plan. After all, I'm not the one who knows what's best for me. So with that said, we met our doctor first and had a consultation...then he took us back into the ultrasound room. With sweaty palms and anxious eyes Devin and I awaited the first images of our baby. When I saw that precious picture tears of joy were streaming. First of all, it was nice to know there was actually a baby in there...and not only that, but it was comforting to know that it was ONE baby. :) We saw the heart beating away and the tiny legs and arms. That moment was one of the sweetest I have ever experienced. Our first glimpse at a little miracle who is so loved by the both of us already. God has so richly blessed Devin and I with beautiful and loving families and with great lives. We are so undeserving, and yet He continues to pour the blessings upon us, which we are very grateful for. To our precious baby...you are so loved and so cherished already. We can only hope, dream, and pray that we get the chance to meet you one day so we can shower you with unconditional love, teach you, and learn from you. ♥
