Thank you to everyone who sent me a message and encouragement this morning. It really helped me. A little hyperventilating...a little illness from the unknown...a little tears...a lot of anxiety and nervousness, but I made I made it through. We saw our little peanut today. We saw the heart beating. We have an excellent Dr. who was very compassionate, reassuring, and empathetic. Everything looks perfect...sigh and oh, so did Beckett.

We jumped a hurdle today. 1st trimester is over. My Dr. suggested seeing a perinatalogist. These are doctors who specialize in high risk pregnancies. Anyway, I will have a repeat ultrasound on Friday and then meet with the specialist to review history and the ultrasound. I think this will be helpful as this journey is incredibly difficult. Hopefully, I will feel like I have lots of information to guide me through this.

I am very grateful that we have made it this far. I am grateful for the positive news today. My scanner is not working so I can't post the picture of the blob baby today, but I will. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and well wishes. It means the world to us to have that support.

I have also really felt Beckett's presence surrounding me today. I spoke to him when I was getting worked up about this appointment. I could feel his presence with us at the ultrasound... maybe getting the first peek at his brother/sister.
