First Doctor Visit

We had our first doctor visit Tuesday. Figuring we were six weeks along, we had all the routine stuff done, but since we had lost our little Peanut, they decided to go ahead and truly "confirm pregnancy" through ultrasound.


The ultrasound said our gestational sac measured in at 5 weeks and 5 days, not six weeks, so it was too early to see that little flicker and hear the heart beating. However, we did see a yolk sac, which we were informed is a good sign! 


Dr. Kennebeck popped her head in after the ultrasound saying she'd see us next week to look for a heartbeat. She had a big smile on her face and looked hopeful. Just what a mommy and daddy want to see! 


Praying our little baby boy or girl is in there growing and growing. If my fatigue and nausea are any sign, our little "Crackerjack" (named so since our due date is close to opening day) must be growing at an alarming rate. :) 


Praying with all our hearts that April 14th is a date we will be welcoming a little miracle into this world.


~And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.
Psalm 39: 7
~But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. 
Psalm 71: 14

~Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
