Second Trimester

Well, we are officially into our second trimester!! We went to the Doctor again yesterday
(1-26-07) and our precious baby's heartbeat was 154 beats per minute, which is very healthy!!! I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get pictures from this ultrasound but at the same time, I was so "at peace" hearing that heartbeat! I have been feeling pretty rotten for the past 6 weeks but yesterday, for our appointment, I felt great! I was so relieved to wake up feeling well and asked the Lord to make that the start of something good! Well, of course we all know HE IS IN CONTROL!!! I woke up this morning and had my first pregnancy "throw up". Eric and I were wondering how many women can say they never threw up in their first trimester but did in their second??? Jennifer Heuer can officially say that happened to her!

Hopefully soon the outside world will be able to see the expanding belly that I feel! Once it's apparent, I will be sure to post some pictures of the belly!

Ultrasound #2

I LOVE this picture for several reasons. First of all, the baby resembles a little gummy bear! And second, you can actually see the beats of the heart down at the bottom. A VERY healthy heartbeat of 162 beats per minute! This one took place on 12/27/06. We will go back at twelve weeks for yet another ultrasound! I love those things! They just bring so much comfort!!! Praise God for such an incredible miracle!

We're having a baby!

Here is our first ultrasound picture at 5 weeks and 6 days (12/14/06). The baby is so tiny but we were still able to hear a precious heartbeat!!! What a miracle! We are so thrilled to be starting this journey in our lives!!! August 10th can NOT come quickly enough!!!
