Today we got to hear the baby's heart beat for this first time... and let me tell you, it was the sweetest sound ever.  We had already seen the flutter of the little heart in our first ultrasound...but I was still super nervous because I'm the type to prepare myself for the worst possible scenario going into everything.  I'm not proud of that at all, :) but it's just how I am.  So I was freaking out on the inside, but I found calm in the fact that I have been in constant prayer since the beginning of all of this...and I was trusting that everything would be just fine.  And fine it was...as soon as the doppler touched my stomach...the heartbeat was a loud and clear 157.  I was so relieved and SO ridiculously happy.  So now I'm slipping into all of the guessing of what the sex will be...there are so many old wives tales and myths about the baby's gender to keep Devin and I entertained and pre-occupied until we actually find out in 6 more weeks.  So for now I'm 14 weeks and counting...still praying, trusting, hoping and waiting for our little miracle to make his or her way into this great big world! ♥
