Nugget,
This has been such a joyful weekend! On Friday, your dad and I went to our 14 week
appointment for an ultrasound. The
doctor couldn’t find your heartbeat and after 10 painfully scary minutes, we
were able to see you on a sonogram.
There is no way to describe the emotions at seen you for the first
time. We saw your little feet, your hands
making fists, the shadow of your face, your spine and your strong heart
beating. It moves me to tears
thinking about it right now. I cannot
believe you are real sometimes!
Immediately after the appointment, once we were sure
everything was okay, we formally “announced” we were pregnant. This didn’t come as a shock to too many
people, since your dad and I are terrible at keeping secrets about
ourselves. There have been so many
people praying for you, little one, and so many people that are celebrating
your health and growth. You are one
loved little baby. It is so exciting to
be past the first trimester and feel so much of the fear and anxiety be
replaced with excitement, hope and joy!
“I prayed for this
child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him.” 1 Samuel 1:27
have continued to take it easy on me—thank you! I was nauseous and tired until about last
week, but now I am on the upswing. Right
now I’m loving grapefruit and oranges – or anything citrus, really, which is
fitting, as you are about the size of a navel orange right now. We cannot wait to find out if you are our
little boy or little girl. Momma is
putting her official guess in for boy but of course will be thrilled no matter
what!
Little one, I hope I never forget the anticipation of
meeting you in April, I feel so lucky to be your Momma.
I love you forever and ever.
