Our growing Beanie Baby

Today we had an exciting ultra-sound. We went in, not sure what was going to be done. "Where we going to hear the heart-beat?" We weren't sure. Then the doctor announced we were going to have an ultra sound. My stomach just twisted. Immediately on the screen pops this baby with legs and toes!! I said, "Oh my gosh!" It was so crazy because less than a month ago it was hard to tell it was a baby. In the picture above, the doctor said the baby was covering it's mouth with one of it's hands. The baby's heart rate was 171bpm. Dr. Sawyer said it's an old wives' tail that it beating that fast means it's a girl. Who knows? Speaking of what our little Beanie Baby is... we find out Oct. 14th what we are having! 

It was a very exciting day. We didn't get to hear the little heart, but next month we will. It's only 4 inches tall, too small for the doppler. 
I'm still amazed that this tiny person is growing inside me. It's too surreal. The miracle and the power of God is so overwhelming. Only He can be in control, knowing every move, every bit of growth. It's so amazing.
Of course I still feel sick (actually while I'm typing this I'm feeling quite blah), but it's not everyday you get to see your baby covering it's mouth!! (Maybe it was yawning).
Deric and I are very excited!!!!!!!!
