Hearing the Heartbeat!!
What a miraculous moment we shared today at our very first baby appointment - hearing our child's heart beat at a rate of 150 bpm for the very first time!! I didn't know whether to smile the biggest smile I've ever had or cry; it was so special. The doctor did say that everything looks good and we are officially at 12 weeks, not further along than we thought we were. Our next appointment is August 4, which will include the tests for Downs Syndrome and spina bofida (spelling?). Then the big one will probably be the first week of September - THE ultrasound!! Of course, that means 8 more weeks of JR worrying that we're having more than one kid, but we'll just leave everything in God's hands and be at peace with His plan!
