Joy!

Justin and I went to the doctor just hoping to hear our baby's heartbeat. I was hopeful, but knew that there was only a chance we'd be able to hear it this early. I am now in my 10th week. So after a very long wait in the waiting room, we finally got to see the doctor. Unfortunately, she couldn't detect the heartbeat. She said this was completely normal for this early in the pregnancy. But, she didn't want us to leave worried, so she led us to the ultrasound room where we got to see our baby!!! We never expected this. Like I said, we were just hoping for the heartbeat. I could just cry because of how much joy I feel after getting to see it actually moving around. We could see it so clearly, its head, body, and arms and legs. The doctor said it was really moving around a lot. It is the cutest baby I've ever seen!
