Maybe Baby - 9 weeks 5 days ... or later??

My wonderful husband was nice enough to take today off and go with me to our first official OB appointment today. Again - they had told me when she canceled our first ultrasound that she would try to listen for the heartbeat at this visit - but then she wouldn't because she said she's never been able to hear it at 9 weeks before. So I was annoyed with our doctor.

But then she felt my tummy - and estimated that it was feeling about 12 weeks instead of 9 1/2. So she decided we should have an ultrasound to make sure there weren't 2 Maybes inside!

Then, God blessed us with the ultrasound tech Joy - who just so happened to be sitting around doing nothing! We were so lucky to just get to move right into the ultrasound room instead of having to reschedule and come back next week!!

Don't worry - there is officially only 1 baby in there - but as per my usual baby breeding - Maybe is already measuring exactly one week ahead. My OB had said she won't change the due date unless it's 7 days off ... and it was exactly 7 days. So I'm not sure what we'll do there - I bet we'll discuss it next time.

It was so amazing and beautiful to see Maybe in there - flopping around, moving his/her little stumpy arms. The heartbeat was 163 - Henry's was always on the higher end too.

This pregnancy is starting to feel real ... and I am just so overwhelmed, excited, anxious, and grateful!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 4:6-7 ESV)

A cute pic where you can see Maybe's little limbs!

A better facial profile pic - but I think that's the cord going up because Maybe's legs aren't that long yet!

Thank you God - for giving us this baby and letting us see him/her today!!
