So happy to report that today is a good day. Okay, not so much good as AMAZING!!! I know it's much too early to get too excited and be shouting to the world, but I cannot help myself. World, meet Baby Rice:) I have obviously been on pins and needles with this pregnancy and I do understand that we are not out of the woods yet, but my doctor has no reason to believe that this will not be a HEALTHY pregnancy!
I've read about first hearing the baby's heartbeat and knew that we should hear a heartbeat today...but nothing can prepare you for actually hearing it! I think Andy and I also had tears of joy in our eyes, since we never had the opportunity to hear the last baby's heartbeat. Our next goal is to make it past 9 weeks. Although I am breathing a bit easier today, I will feel much more relief if we make it through our next visit on September 1st with a good report (at which time the chance of miscarriage--still hate that word--will drop to only 4%).
Kim and I had a very short discussion today...we can't help but think that this baby is meant to make it. It would somehow make sense that God is giving me this life to help make up for our loss of Zane this week. Yes, I guess I am back on speaking terms with God...at least I am now that I had such a good report today.
Have I mentioned that I heard a HEARTBEAT???!!! I haven't been this happy in awhile and I am truly thankful.
