IVF Update #15: Love at First Sight

Hello friends and family, It's official!  We're having a baby!!! Meet our little "squudge": We had our first OB ultrasound this morning and confirmed that baby is indeed growing in the right place, sized perfectly for his/her gestational age, and we even got to see a tiny heartbeat flicker on the screen! We know that there is still a long way to go, but we are feeling very hopeful and optimistic.  This is the first time we've seen a heartbeat with any of our pregnancies.  It has been a really great day. Our next appointment is in two weeks and if all goes well we will "graduate" from the fertility center!   Prayer Requests: 1. Praise! We are pregnant!  We are so overjoyed and thankful for this little life. 2. Pray that our baby would continue to grow strong and healthy. 3. Please pray for peace and trust in God.  Because of our past losses, it is hard not to brace for bad news at each appointment.  Please pray that we would be able to enjoy this season and not spend it in worry and fear.

We love you guys!  Thank you so much for all your care and support.  We are so excited to get to share this happy news with you. Because we are still very early in the pregnancy, we are not officially announcing.  We thank you all for being discerning secret-keepers ;) XOXO, Doad and Jess
