Love at First Sight


Last year on this very day, I began to have visible signs of a miscarriage. Today, I was filled to the brim. The sun was shining, there was not a cloud in the sky and it was a warm day for a January in the Midwest. Never was I so glad to see baby's little heartbeat light up on the monitor. Sorrow was replaced with joy! Fear was replaced with hope!

Meet our littlest bookend. He/she is beginning week 12 in my womb and actively bouncing around. I had begun to worry the last few days as I approached the anniversary of my miscarriage and my nausea began to subside. But the nausea is still here and I'm thankful, because that means that baby is still alive. Life is beautiful!

I don't know how many times I have looked at this photo today. I fall in love all over again and again.

  2. This is the great side of technology! Wish they had it when our kids were developing. It certainly is amazing, the closest thing to a photograph inside your womb. Will pray for you and can't wait to see him/her! Maybe this one's a girl?

    1. Thank you for the prayers!

      I would be very surprised if baby is a girl. I'm assuming it's another boy:) Either way, names are picked out.
