Our Little Miracle

As of now I'm sure the world knows that Daniel and I are expecting a little bundle of joy June 4, 2012. We are so excited its unbelievable!! On September 30, 2011 (the day after my b-day and the due date of my first little one)  I went to my regular doctor to have my thyroid checked and to my surprise we found out we were pregnant. I was very scared because I had been taking diet pills for about 3 weeks and they are very bad for a baby. We went to Dr. Chern my OB doctor that next Monday to confirm that we really were having a little one. He assurred us that everything was going to be ok with baby and with me. He wanted to see us back in 2 weeks for an ultrasound. He wrote me my script for my shots and sent us on our way. I leave the doctors office and head to Wal Mart pharmacy to get my shots filled. Once they are filled and ready for me to pick them up I get a huge shock, they were $7.00 a month instead of being $180.00 a week like before. I immediately starting crying and the lady checking me out said are you ok and I began to tell her she had no idea of how much of a blessing this was for me, considering I would have to be on them the whole pregnancy. She told me that God worked in mysterious ways and I told her that I can attest to that. And here is where all of our blessings started, The Sunday before we found out I had found a four leaf clover and thought to myself  I am in need of some good luck. and then finding out that we had been given another opportunity to start our family, then my shots only costing $7.00 a month. I knew with all of these things that had happened there was no way this baby wasn't meant to be! I knew God was behind all of this and he was showing me that faith really is trusting in his timing. A lesson I had to learn the hard way, but so worth the wait. The next 2 weeks seem to drag by.

Finally the time had arrived for us to go back to the doctor. I tossed and turned all night long just thinking of how this appointment was going to go. Daniel and I get up and get ready to head out to the doctor this morning. We get there extra early just hoping that they would go ahead and get us back. We check in and they tell us she is getting the ultrasound room warmed up for us and she would get us back as soon as it was warm enough. She takes us back and gets us ready for Dr. Chern to come in. It seems like its taking forever for him to come in the room and finally he knocks on the door and gets everything ready. The time has came for us to finally see our little peanut. He starts moving the thing around trying to find it and at first I didn't see anything but a sack again and finally I look up and see my little miracles heart beating away!! It took my breath away and I immediately began to cry. I couldn't believe that I actually had a little one inside me and all of my dreams were coming true. Daniel came up by me and rubbed my leg and told me everything was going to be ok. My little one is measuring 7weeks and 6 days and puts its due date June 4, 2012. Its little heartbeat is beating away at a rate of 137-140. So I'm thinking its a little BOY, but I will be blessed with whatever God has in store for us. Our next baby doctor appointment is November 16, at that time we will be able to hear little bits heartbeat!!

Everyone please keep all of us in your prayers and I will keep everyone updated! I plan on blogging once a week up until baby's arrival. I'm also going to be starting a blog for the baby where I write it a letter every week until baby gets here, then it will go to once a month until my little is  one and then once a year until my little one is all grown up. And one day I will let my little read all of its letters mommy and daddy have written throughout the years. Once again thank you all for your kind words and prayers along the way and please keep them coming because they have been working!!
