A Sigh Of Relief

Monday my Mother went with me to my second OB appointment. I was nervous about hearing a heartbeat, seeing as my last visit we were not even able to see the baby. I know God's will is perfect, but when it comes to our children it can be even harder to understand! As I waited for the sonographer to enter the room I prayed for God's mercy and protection! Not only did he give me both He also gave me comfort! Within just a few seconds I heard the sonographer say "We have a heartbeat!" I cannot express the amount of weight that was lifted from my shoulders! She told me to hold my breath and then we heard a beautiful little heartbeat (or heart beep as Sarah Catherine calls it)! Walking to the nurses station I was overwhelmed with emotion.. The floodgates opened! Of course they were tears of happiness (I am pregnant and hormonal :) ) !! My next appointment is September 28, Sarah Catherine's 6th birthday! More updates to come!!
