8 week Ultrasound!!

BABY WHITTEN'S FIRST PICTURES!

That's my baby:):):)[[Baby is upsidedown in all 3 pics]]

My mom and sister, Hunter, came up for the appointment and I couldn't have been more blessed than to have them there with me! I went through a longgg process of actually getting someone to be there with me since Thomas left yesterday! But thankfully my mom worked it out with her boss and checked my sister out of school to be here with me!! --Thanks mom!

We ended up having to do both the external and internal ultrasounds since the baby was measuring smaller than my original due date... he wanted to get the best measurements! But the baby is measuring consistantly with the first u/s so it looks like everything is going great! And today the baby is measuring 8w2d and due on 9.3.08... My mom's birthday:)

The heart was such a beautiful thing to see! You don't ever really know what it's like from other people's u/s pictures... but once you actually see it beating on that screen it is just amazing! He told us we wouldn't be able to hear the heartbeat because of the kind of dopler they had... it admits too much heat and it isn't safe to use for very long this early on... but he turned it on for a few seconds! Just long enough to hear a few pulses:) AMAZING! I have been pretty calm and almost distant, from the whole pregnancy... but i actually cried a little when I heard it!!

We did it! Finally, there is life inside of me! I almost thought I would never have a day like today... but just scroll up the page... there is my baby, for you me and everyone else to see! I couldn't be prouder!!

I just want to thank everyone for alllll of your prayers and support throughout our journey to get here today! We couldn't have done it all without you.

Please continue to pray for Thomas and all of the men and women over there! And enjoy the pictures!!

Much love!
