little bean

Happy Mother’s Day!
On the way out of Church today, Fr. Faustinus greeted me with a “Happy Mother’s Day” and a handshake.  I’m pretty sure Father doesn’t remember if I do or do not have children, but I was glad he erred on the side of caution and extended that pleasantry to me.  I’m so excited to be a mother!
I had another OB appointment on Friday.  This appointment was basically a review of my labs - all normal - and establishing the follow up visit.  The nurse practitioner also offered to do an in-office ultrasound.  I was so nervous, but agreed, because I figured it would help alleviate some anxiety.  Either there is still a baby or there’s not. 
There is a baby! and baby measured at 6 weeks 3 days.  The little bean’s heart rate was 122.   I could see his or her chest pulsating with each beat!  Susan said the heart rate will speed up in the next few weeks.   I was so relieved and so moved to see that little munchkin in there!  I snapped a few pictures of the ultrasound pics with my iphone to send to David since he wasn’t in town.  Just makes keeping this little miracle a secret so much harder!  Happy Mother’s Day to all my Momma ladies!
