Before the ultrasound: The day has finally arrived. We get to make sure that Peanut has a healthy heartbeat. I cannot even begin to describe how I am feeling about this. I am so nervous I think I could pass out. I even pulled out my doppler last night just to see if by chance I could catch a heartbeat. Of course, at only 7 weeks, it is way too early. I have been praying non-stop and have recruited my family to send all the good juju they possibly can! Why did I make the appointment at 1:00...should have done it first thing! My heart is pounding and I am on the verge of tears just thinking about it all! But, I am just going to have faith things are fine. Everyone else seems to think things are fine, so I need to jump on board.
After: WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!! We have a heartbeat! 151 beats per minute to be exact. Baby was measuring at 7w1d, so a day ahead of last week's measurements. Thank God. I am so relieved and so thankful. Still a nervous wreck since I saw a heartbeat twice last time. But, we are heading in the right direction. Let's keep on growing little Peanut!!
