I have been DIEING to write this post! If you haven’t found out already, we are expecting baby #3 in December! Surprised?! Yeah, so are we! Don’t get me wrong, I REALLY wanted another baby, just not quite so soon… I mean Serenity is getting ready to go into first grade and Destiny into preschool… I kinda had “other plans,” or so I thought anyway haha! Isn’t that how these things seem to work though? Apparently God has something a little different in mind…
So now we get to the most incredible experience, you know, aside from becoming a mommy all over again… Seeing a 6 1/2 week old embryo’s baby’s heart beat *April 18th*… Yes, I got to see both of my daughters heart beats on an ultrasound screen but never as early as six weeks! After being pregnant for only a month and a half – Six short weeks – That little life inside of you (that a lot of “prochoice” people refuse to call a life *or even a baby*) has a beating HEART. It is the tiniest little flicker of pixels on a screen, but still a beating heart nonetheless. Getting to see this so early for the very first time completely blew me away. I knew by 6 weeks a baby has a heart, but seeing it beating makes it so much more REAL. I was even more blessed to not only be able to see this with my own eyes but I had a wonderful ultrasound tech who gave me a CD with a little video showing the tiny heartbeat.
*maybe I will post that video later 
Now not only do I get to be a mommy to yet another little energy syphon but I recently found out I get to share the joys with a good friend Cassondra who is going to be a mommy for the very FIRST time! I am SO excited for her! I am also so excited that we are due so darn close together… Try December 1st (her) and December 9th (me)! *No this was definitely NOT planned haha* I am not looking forward to the blood tests, in my opinion that is worse than labor haha!!! I am however looking forward to finding out weather we are having a little boy or another little girl. 
Until next time,
Kayla
I saw Rayne's heartbeat at 6 weeks and started crying right there! I was a little sensitive because I had miscarried before, but it was amazing to see that flicker. I agree, blood tests are worse than labor! I have yet to have a "planned" pregnancy, but it reminds me that my life doesn't go by my plans but by God's and it's always for the best.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kayla. A baby is truly a miracle and a blessing from God. I'm so happy for you. Take care of yourself and that new little person... don't you just wonder who it is you're growing? :)
