So far, so good!

Just a quick note. I had an ultrasound today. According to baby's size, we are 8 weeks exactly which is a little further than we thought. This baby was is so much bigger and more recognizable as a baby than Liz was for her first U/S. The heartbeat is 171 beats per minute. I was praying for 140, so 171 is quite the blessing! I think I will be a little more relaxed now. The first trimester is always scary for me, so I feel much better once I see that heart beating away. I am amazed by our God. To think that the God who created all, humbled Himself to not only be a baby, but be a baby in a womb. Right now our little one is about the size of a blueberry and that is a significant growth spurt from a few weeks ago. I am in awe of that. I am more in awe of such a big God and all that He can do. And all that He created. How special and intricately planned we all are. I could babble aimlessly forever. I'm just in a daze of amazement today. Pictures and fun stories coming soon. I've been avoiding the computer lately. I think the thought of climbing the stairs has exhausted me lately. Ah, lovely 1st trimester!
