7.5 Week Ultrasound

This was our first ultrasound, with this pregnancy, and we were SO nervous, anxious, and hopeful. The date was September 16, 2009. The last time we were in that room, we were told the heartbreaking news that our baby had stopped growing around 6 weeks, which was followed by a miscarriage. To boot, the ultrasound technician was the same lady we'd had before, so I immediately told her I would only accept good news this day! As soon as she squirted the warm ultrasound goo on my belly and placed the wand on it, we saw a little baby bean, squirming, AND the heart was beating......WHAT A RELIEF!! It was our lucky day. Not only did we get to see the heart beating, but we got to hear that awesome, whoosh-whoosh, sound. The heartrate was a strong 168. This was only the beginning of our adventure, and many worries to come......
