We Have a Mover!

Our third ultrasound was today. I must confess that I was sort of nervous because some of the girls on my fertility website have had recent miscarriages. They were due around the same time as me. For some reason, I tend to associate myself with everyone else. I've always been that way. I remember hearing stories about kids getting kidnapped and being terrified that I would get kidnapped, too. So, when these girls announced miscarriages at or around 11 weeks, I got a little worried. In the back of my mind, I knew I was worrying about nothing, but I still wanted assurance that my pregnancy was going the way it should. I got more than just assurance today, and I was so thankful. The little one is growing and moving around like crazy. We saw it's eyes and ears. We saw legs and arms and hands. It was so amazing! He or she currently measures at 12 weeks 2 days, meaning that it is measuring ahead by nearly one week. I asked if that meant my due date is moved, but she told me it doesn't. It just means that the baby is growing rapidly and is big. The differences between this ultrasound and our last one were phenomenal. It is amazing that so much has happened in just 3 weeks. I also "graduated" from my specialist doctor and can now go see a regular OB/GYN. I had to get a new doctor because my previous one evidently decided to stop delivering babies. I haven't made the appointment yet, but I am going to call soon. Please continue to keep Carl, me, and our sweet little miracle in your prayers. We feel so blessed in so many ways.
