The Greatest Day...




was today, September, 18th, 2008 when Adam and I saw our baby's heartbeat!! Yes, that's right, I am pregnant and due on May 15th, 2009. We are so excited!!

It all started on August 30th. I had just came home from work and decided I thought I would take a test just to see. I wasn't planning on seeing anything since it was so early (exactly 3 weeks and 1 day)and lo and behold, a faint pink line. Of course I took one everyday after that and then a digital test which I included a picture of above. I know, I am crazy.

I went in on September 3rd and had my HCG level and progesterone drawn and they came back great..HCG was 80 and progesterone 30.2. I then went back on September 8th, and the HCG was 793, then this past Monday, September 15th, the level went to 14,975!!! Wow!! All those numbers are great, by the way. The number is supposed to double every 2 days and mine was more than doubling.

Today we went for an ultrasound and everything looked great and we got to see the heartbeat, beating strong at 144 beats per minute and our tiny little peanut measuring at 2.5 mm. I cannot put into words how thankful and grateful I am for this, how thankful Adam and I both are. I know many of you know what we have gone through to get to this point and I am so thankful for your thoughts and prayers during all of this. God is so good!!! I love you all!!
