The First Ultrasound: a Glimmer of Hope

Another milestone: the first ultrasound.

I walked into the exam room with a lump in my throat and tissues in my purse. I thought I had prepared myself for whatever I would see in the coming minutes. Not quite as prepared as I thought. I bawled like a baby. There on the screen was a flicker of hope: a heartbeat. A tiny baby with a flashing light indicating life. Through my tears I explained my story to the technician. She simply said, "I love hearing miracle stories like that". Then she printed out an image for me to keep.

Reward: "Worth the Wait" onesie, courtesy of Kiki (she thinks I'm having a girl). Very fitting, don't you think?

Angie that's wonderful! I was crying as I read your post! You'll have to post a picture of the crib that you get!
