10 1/2 Weeks

As I rushed to the ultrasound on Wednesday morning, all I could think, all my heart could feel was dread. I was so concerned that all of my symptoms were a result of the progesterone and not because of you. And of course I was late, so I was praying that they would still see me, that you would be ok, that all would be all right.
What a relief when they took me back to that room. Laid me on the bed and completed the ultrasound. When your little form appeared, with waving arms and feet as you shifted and moved around in my womb. It was nothing short of a miracle. Your heartbeat, at 163 was so strong, you were so beautiful. I can't wait for the next checkup just to know that you are ok. Please hold on, please keep growing. You are truly our little miracle and I am only blessed every day by your continued presence.
