We have a heartbeat...

Yes, I did say we have A heartbeat. We found out today that we have one little baby growing in my body. Everyone keeps asking how I am doing. Firstly let me say that I didn't have my heart set on twins, sometimes it seemed exciting, and sometimes totally daunting and nerve wracking. Secondly...I'm pregnant!!! That in and of itself is a miracle from God. I know he makes no mistakes, and this is exactly the child that Jeremy and I are meant to have. I am hoping to be able to work up until my due date, and be able to pay off most, if not all of the IVF bill. (Unfortunately insurance did not cover our IVF procedure) With one baby that gives me the chance to work longer, since with twins people rarely carry till their due date. It still amazes me that I saw that little heart beating, that little tiny "jelly bean", only 1/2 centimeter big. The heartbeat was 114 beats a minute, and the doc said everything looks good. God has just been so good to us, and I give him all the glory. I'm trying to take things slowly, and enjoy every minute as some of you have admonished me to do, but I just can't wait to feel the baby move, to see the results (in my body) of it growing and maturing. Doctor Ripps said I am actually 6 1/2 weeks along, which is even farther than we had thought. I go for another ultrasound on Friday the 23rd, and the doctor said you'll be able to see a face, and little arm buds starting to grow. After that appointment I will make an appointment to see an OB. (My gynecologist that sent me to Dr. Ripps does not deliver babies) I am going to see Dr. Hennessey in Ft. Walton Beach, and Dr. Ripps actually knows him and likes him alot, so that was good to hear. All I can say right now is thanks for the prayers and Thank you God!!!! I know there's many women who are still struggling with infertility and are hoping for an outcome like mine. I don't know them all, but I pray for them, that they will also get to experience the joy and awe that Jeremy and I are getting to experience. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. (I certainly will ) :) Love, Me
