Breathing a sigh of relief!

I got to hear our babe's gorgeous heartbeat today!!!
PRAISE GOD!

There was no ultrasound today, so my doctor was hoping to be able to find the babe's heartbeat with just the fetal doppler. At first, she was unable to find it because there was so much static on the little machine. I prayed as I layed on that table and then praise God - Little Bit's heartbeat came out loud and clear! It was miraculous! I was crying, I was so happy! I am just amazed that there is a baby growing in there! I was able to have my aunt (the one who is like a mom to me, but unable to have children of her own) with me and she cried tears of joy today, too! It was so special for her and the very first time she got to ever hear a baby still in the womb's heartbeat! Like I have always said, this baby was not just an answered prayer for my husband and I, but for so many people in my family and beyond. This baby is already changing people's hearts for God!! My aunt told me today that she would sometimes forget to pray during the day because she would get distracted, so she set an alarm at her phone to remind her to pray everyday! I told her that was a great idea and then she told me that she started that when she found out this little baby was coming and so she prays everyday at 10am for the baby and us! God, I knew our child would be an answer many prayers and I thank you for this gift!

My body has changed quite a bit, my belly was always big, but it has changed shapes dramatically and I find it so funny! I have been having such a change in eating patterns (not much of an appetite or just craving healthier choices) so I was pleasantly suprised today that my weight is less now than it was a few weeks ago. I am about the same weight I was for my two surgeries with Dr. H, but now I am 15 weeks pregnant, so I am pleased. I am wearing some maternity clothes and still wearing a few of my stretchy pants! I have always been really well endowed in my chest, but my belly is now poking out further than my chest. It is really weird to see, I am loving ever bit of it! Running to the bathroom has become less frequent and the nasea is improving. I struggled with a terrible headache/sinus problems, but I finally gave in a took a tylenol tonight and feel a relief from the pounding in my temples.

It rained all day here! I was driving home in the rain, could barely see through the windshield, and dealing with a pounding headache so I was praying so hard to just make it home! As soon as I did, I took a hot shower (I forgot to say that before I could drive home I had to get gas in the whipping rain and was wet and messy) and then I was able to relax and do some chores while I was waiting for my meat to defrost for dinner! Thank God, my husband came home and helped me cut it up! I hate the smell of raw meat these days :)

Tomorrow is our 10th Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!

I love my husband so much and everyday is a gift when I get to wake up to his warm embrace :)
