Ultrasound Time!

We had our first ultrasound today. I was a little anxious leading up to this. Every night at bedtime, we read Sam's Bible to her. We have already read through it once, so now I usually just open it up and read whatever story I open to. The night that we found out we were pregnant I opened her Bible to the story of Isaac and Rebbecca asking God for a child and He gave them TWIN BOYS!!! Twins don't really run in our families, so I had no reason to believe that we are having twins other than reading that particular story on that particular night. But, all is well - there is only 1!!!

It was so neat getting to see this little one. We are almost 10 weeks along and it was amazing to see how human-like the baby looks already. We had an early ultrasound with Sam when I was about 6 weeks along. Wow, what a difference a few weeks makes in the life of a baby! We also got to hear, and see, its little heart beat. It was beating at a whopping 171 beats per minute! Some say that means it's going to be another girl! What do you think it is? Cast your vote in the poll to the right of your screen! Regardless, we are looking forward to meeting this little sometime in early October. Sam went with me to the appointment and was absolutely wonderful. I don't know why I was so surprised. So, take a look at our baby's first pictures:
