On that note, I've been tearing up each time I think about it, but how spectacular is our God? How perfect is His creation? There is a 9.5-week-old baby growing inside me, developing features and brain cells and eyelashes and fingers and toes, and it's all according to His plan. There is perfection in His design and precision in His details. The life of a growing child is such an amazing thing, and I'm just in awe at the wonders God is doing. "The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3
Also, while we were at the doctor, she amended the due date (like I always thought was a little off) back to my original one. The baby measured bigger this time, so she decided to use my LMP date and revert back to Aug. 30 as the due date. I always liked August better than September anyway. :) We'll go back again Feb. 17 at the beginning of my 2nd trimester, and hopefully we'll get to hear the heartbeat at that one.
Have I mentioned how much I love my doctor? Dr. Micus is awesome--she is so caring and understanding, always quick to anticipate my questions and concerns and answer them ahead of time. Today she knew I was anxious to hear everything was fine, and immediately said she saw the heartbeat when she did the ultrasound. She told us that it was the right thing for us to come in and calmed our worries, and she was very reassuring for any future fears. I know there will be so many more questions and ups/downs to come, and it's really comforting to know I have a sweet doctor to guide me through it.
So it seems as though I've missed week 9 in the fruit recap (prunes, yum), so I may just skip on to week 10 when it gets here. I'll get better adding pictures soon. I'm just feeling very blessed and overwhelmed with love and goodness and gratitude.
