We still can't believe it...

Well we are still in shock that this baby we see in the ultrasound pictures is ours, we are not looking at someone else's. It is still extremely surreal to us. We can't help but be SO grateful to all of those who have prayed for us, we couldn't be more thankful for that! It has been a long road, not as long as many out there though, and we knew somehow God would come through and reveal His plan and in His timing. We are still praying for a healthy baby!!! I am going to be coming off my heparin (blood thinner) injections this next week and I am anxious for that of course. I am anxious about everything to be honest! I guess that comes with infertility and miscarriage though, we just have to put our trust in God and have faith. My doctor is keeping me on metformin to help prevent gestational diabetes. I will also stay on the progesterone throughout to help prevent pre-term labor.
Above picture-7weeks 4 days-this was my second ultrasound Eric was with me for the first and we saw the heartbeat, this ultrasound Eric couldn't go, but I saw and heard the heartbeat. I sobbed like a baby, it was the most amazing sound.
This ultrasound was 11weeks 5 days (today)-Eric took the day off for this one. It is a little hard to see, but on the left is the head and an arm is up in the air (waving to us of course, haha) Its little legs are bent. We think he or she is darn cute! I always thought how strange people were for getting so weird about an ultrasound black and white picture--I am by far the weirdest person then, because I stare at it all the time and cry.
So I am 11 weeks 5days today and we are excited and nervous. We are praying for a healthy baby and we hope to meet him or her sometime in early June. We waited to tell everyone because we couldn't believe it ourselves, it took 3 ultrasounds to make me finally go "okay, this is inside of me, it's our baby". I wanted to shout it from the beginning, but history made me hold out a little longer. So thank you to all who have been so supportive!
