Sorry it has taken me so long to post all of this.  I’ve still been battling the morning sickness and fatigue…and haven’t felt up to blogging. All excuses aside…here’s the news.  We had an ultrasound on Wednesday.  We arrived at the place, I did my registration stuff and it was all official.  They even put on one of those hospital wristbands on me.  We waited and then the ultrasound tech called us back.  He was a man.  I have to admit…I’ve had approximately 3 or 4 ultrasounds before and I’ve never had a man before.  He was very nice…but I was a little caught off guard.  Nevertheless he went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and tell us about everything he was doing and what he was looking at.  I had more information from him than any other ultrasound tech I have ever had.  Micah stood right by my side…I’m so thankful for a wonderful husband.  Well…everything was going okay but because I was only 7 1/2 weeks a long it was hard to see everything from my stomach…so we had to also do an internal ultrasound.  This is what I have become most accustomed to.  All of my other ultrasounds were like this one.  I have to admit this is an awkward procedure to do with a female tech…but it was even more awkward to do with a male tech.  He even had to go get a nurse to come in the room with us while he did this procedure.  I totally understand why….but it definitely made me feel even more weird.  However, everything went fine.  He did express what sounded like a concern…but wouldn’t give any definitive answers…when he was examining my ovaries.  Apparently my right ovary was kind of down underneath the uterus.  He did say that after my bladder was emptied it seemed to have moved up again.  I’m not really sure what all of that means but he said that a radioligist would review my pictures and my doctor would call me in a few days.  I have yet to hear anything…so I assume no news is good news and that everything is fine and that my body is doing some weird stuff.

Now on to the good part.  We got to see the baby.  It is about 1/2 inch long now.  (I can’t believe something so tiny can reek such havoc on my body.)  It actually kind of looked like a little tiny baby.  It was pretty cool. Then we saw the heart beat.  There was this little dot that was bouncing up and down on the baby.  It was so cute.  Then all of a sound he turned on the sound…and there it was the actual physical heartbeat of the baby.  It was going so fast…I think he said 158 beats ber minute.  He took that measurement twice and it was the same both times.  He said that was a good heart rate.  It really was a comforting moment to not only see it but to hear it beating so strong.  God is so amazing, how can anyone doubt a Sovereign Creator…this just can’t happen by chance.  I am so blessed….although I still wish the morning sickness stuff would go away.

Alright…here it is.
