8 week 5 day ultrasound!


Jessy and I went in for another ultrasound today and we have a new due date! January 1st, 2010! Everything looked wonderful and the baby had a heart rate of 168 beats per minute, which the doctor said was perfect! We got to see our little person move too!! That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen!
The doctor said it looks like the baby is sucking his thumb in this picture. hehe. I don't know that I can see that but I do see the little arms and legs and the baby looking at us. Too cute!


The doctor said we are "over achievers" and that he has never had a patient for less time than he's had me. lol. Jessy said it is good for our wallet because it was going to cost a fortune going to him, since insurance was covering absolutely nothing.


We only have one more visit, on June 10th, with Dr. Clisham, and then he'll refer me back to my regular OB doctor.


We will finish out the 16 days of medicine that we have left. It will have me taking them through 11 weeks exactly and he said that is fine. Originally, I would have stopped them at 10 weeks but he said just to finish out what we have, so I have an extra 7 days to take. Not bad at all.


So, to summarize, we are absolutely thrilled. I feel extremely blessed that everything is going like it's supposed to and I want to enjoy every moment of the pregnancy. I know God has had his hand on everything we have gone through and I have such a peace knowing that "nothing good or bad happens without first going through him." Our pastor says that all the time and I truly believe that God knows exactly what he is doing.


Anyway, I will try and post more often...everyone keeps telling me I need to. : )
