We finally got to see the one who has been causing so much misery in my life these past few weeks. :) For some reason I thought we were only there to hear the heart and wouldn't be able to see the baby so I was very excited when we were able to bring home a picture of our little "alien". Timo said it didn't make it any more real because you can't tell any of the features of the baby but I go in again in 4 weeks so hopefully then it will be a little better. I think he's just in shock and not ready to believe that his whole world is changing.My Bible study girls wanted me to record the heartbeat so they could hear it so it is now on my phone to listen to whenever I want to :) It's little heart is beating at 150 beats per minute which is really good. The doctor said that anything over 100 is great and significantly lowers my chances of miscarrying again. That really put my mind at ease, especially since she wasn't concerned about my random spotting.
They did push back my due date to the 20th of November so I'm praying hard that we don't have a Thanksgiving baby, like I get any choice in that, but I figure it can't hurt anything. ;) So, I'm back being officially 8 weeks pregnant and working on my 9th week. The only bummer is that I now have longer to deal with the morning sickness then I thought but I'll survive it and get through this and remind myself that it means I have a healthy baby.

Emma's little heart was 150bpm during our first ultrasound. It was such a cool experience because you know the baby is there, but all you can feel is the sickness. Hang in there, it WILL get better and then soon enough... you'll have an amazing child hanging out with you all of the time! :o)
