8 Weeks

You all know the drill, I'm writing in real time - but not publishing until we have a little more information and are sure everything is ok with the baby. I'm apologizing in advance to all of you who have asked and I have boldly lied to your face. I hope you forgive me! :)

Here is the 8 week belly pic - September 11, 2013

And the comparison from last week:

The baby is the size of a kidney bean

Also this week, we traveled to St. Louis to hear the heartbeat.  {9/9/13}  I didn't think this appointment could get here soon enough!  When we finally got into the appointment, he put the ultrasound machine on her belly and immediately saw this:

"One perfect, healthy baby" He says.  Julie's immediate response?  "ONE?!  Move that thing around in there?!  ONLY ONE?!"  So, the Doctor continues to search and yes, there is one perfect, and healthy baby in there.  It's little arm and leg buds were wiggling around all over the place.  And PRAISE GOD, it's little heart was fluttering quickly.  It's heart rate was 168.  Everyone says that's a girl rate.  Whatever that means.  :)

All we care about is that it's healthy and everything looks perfect.

Thanks for the prayers!  :)
