It was so hard not to scream to the world how happy we were to be pregnant! We are not the type that like to keep good news to ourselves, especially news that so many people were anxiouly waiting for. We decided to wait until our first ultrasound at 8 weeks to start spreading the news. We knew in our hearts that everything was going to be ok and that God was taking care of you and would deliver you save and sound into our arms, but we didn't want to share the news until we knew for sure.
When I went to the first appointment, I asked the nurse if there was anything I could do to prevent losing you. I knew there was only one answer and the answer was No. But she did suggest that I take a daily pill called progesterone. Some women do not produce enough progesterone during their pregnancy and if that is the case it can lead to a misscariage. Since I had not been tested for why I had misscariages, the changes of that being the reason were very small. The pill was going to make me a little moodier and perhaps make the pregnancy symptoms worsen. I decided to take the chance and leave it all in God's hands...even if it was a one in a million chances of you making it...I would have taken any pill they gave me, no matter how crazy it made me! We don't know if taking progesterone was the reason you made it and perhaps we never will, all we know for sure is that God wanted you to make it and thats all that matters.
Finally the 8 week appointment came. We were so excited and scared all at the same time!! Our faith kept us sane and helped us overcome the anxiaty of fearing for the worse. The ultrasound found you right away and in between all of the fuzziness was a tiny little heart blinking so fast that it was so hard for me to spot. Your Daddy saw it right away and I cried because they said it was there, but I couldn't see it!! Finally the doctor pointed at it and there it was...the most beautiful heart in the world!!! Tears formed in my eyes, tears of joy to see you and hear the Doctor say that you looked great!
As soon as we left the doctor we called and texted all of our loved ones and shared the news!! Everyone was sooo happy. You have no Idea how much so many people want you to get here already. Your grandparents are going to spoil you rotten!!! You are going to be the first grandchild to both sets of grandparents...they have been wanting a grandchild for so long that all of the happiness does not fit in their hearts! There is no doubt how loved you will be, because you already are :)
I love you my little one,
Mommy
