Yesterday was my routine monthly doctor visit. On any ordinary visit this one would be very boring. I am only at the point where they weigh you (sigh), pee in a cup (gross), then you see the doc for one second and they listen to the heart beat. My visits have worked out awesome because Ryan has Mondays off and he can be with the kids while I go to these fun appointments. Yesterdays visit went like normal until we got to the heartbeat part. My doc listened and listened and just could not hear the heartbeat. She said hold on I am going to go and get my super machine and for sure we will be able to hear the heartbeat. She left as my heart rate became out of control with worry. She came back and used this super machine and after 20 minutes of trying had no luck. She very calmly said I think you should go home and get your husband and you guys need to get an ultrasound. I left the office and called Ryan and he met me for my ultrasound. God just wanted us to have the chance to see our angel another time because everything was perfect. The baby is as cute as can be. It's amazing how much it has grown. Everything is there even its little ears. Children really are a blessing from God and every time I see this little one I am reminded.

Whew! With Luke I had an ultrasound every visit until the big one at 20 weeks or so. You get so used to seeing the little tikes. It is so fascinating to see them in-utero. I'm so happy everything is going so well.

Oh Kristan. That must have been so scary! You and Ryan are being called to trust Him through each step of this pregnancy. You'll have such testimony to share with your new little guy or gal.

I'm so glad the ultrasound went perfectly.

Oh Kristan, how scary! I remember (and only because you triggered my memory with your post) when they did that to me when I was pregnant with Rylan. They try to act so calm and all yet you are screaming on the inside, heart pounding irradically...yeah, I remember that. And then you have the ultrasound and everything is just fine and dandy! Baby's all snug and comfy in their little sac....glad to hear everything is going good.

Oh wow! I couldn't read fast enough to get to the part where the baby is OK! I AM SO GLAD! Children are in God's hands from the very beginning and He knows your little one. His plans and purposes for his life are already in motion. Praise the Lord!
