First Picture

Well, here's our baby! Everything, to my great relief looked normal and healthy. They found the baby and heartbeat right away. Although the baby is still tiny, the heart was pounding at 124 beats per minute. (Normal is anywhere from 110-180 they said).

They also updated my due date. Now I'm due December 5, 2009. This means I was only 5.4 weeks last time. I'm just now 6.5 weeks. So that really explains why they didn't see anything!

Anyway, J.D. stood beside me and held my hand while we listened to the tiny heart beat. Another quiet tear rolled down my face, but this one had a very different meaning.

As you know, we are also thrilled and super-excited!!!! Jumping up and down (as usual), like four year olds!

Olivia is back to wanting a boy, at least for today, by the way.

I am just so thankful for this. I am just so thankful.

With love,
Cather
