Seeing our precious baby for the first time!

Matt and I were both so nervous and excited to go to the doctor today. We were a little uncertain of what exactly to expect, and what all we would be told. Like any mother, I was praying for the best. 

Seeing the picture of the little life inside of me was absolutely breath-taking. The baby has definite limbs right now, and we were able to see them all. At one point, a little arm flittered across the screen, and it looked like a wave. The heart was beating 177 times a minute, and watching this happen was pretty cool. Matt and I were smiling so big and could not get enough of it. Seeing the baby brought things into perspective of what is happening. I guess you could say that we are still on cloud 9, and we cannot believe this blessing that God has given us. 

I am at 8 weeks 1 day today, so there is so much ahead of us. I have been feeling great, and I am oh so thankful for that! I am hoping to steer clear of nausea and other not-so-cool pregnancy symptoms!
