We Heard the Heartbeat!

Praising God today for a HEALTHY BABY!!!  I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it!

At our doctor’s appointment yesterday, Nick and I heard the heartbeat.  Loud and strong.  And, the baby was being rowdy too.  There was a lot of swishing noise in addition to the heartbeat, and doc said that was the baby moving and kicking – even though its only about the size of a golf ball!

I had been staying a little guarded thus far in the pregnancy.  We are aware of the high percentage of miscarriages in the first trimester, and I feel like I’ve had quite a bit of experience with God growing me through trial and hard things.  Those two facts combined…….. and, well……. I had totally prepared myself for bad news at yesterday’s appointment.  We didn’t get any bad news!  All good.  We are HAPPIER than usual today.

We also had the opportunity to ask a ton of questions about insurance coverage, payment particulars, and labor and delivery.  Everyone was so kind and patient and helpful.  We left with lots of info, joy in our hearts, and a plan to move forward.

The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord!
