11 Week Check-Up

I am a little over 11 weeks along in my pregnancy and we went for my check-up today! We went hoping that we would get to hear the baby's heartbeat and we did! We actually got more! Dr. Shepherd brought in the little portable sonogram machine and we got to take a peek in there at our little peanut! Notice... I said peanut, NOT peanuts! Yep, it looks like there is ONE baby in there! Although our doctor would not give us any guarantees, he is "pretty sure" that there is only one! We are thankful for what God has given us!

We got to see him/her wiggling around. We saw arms and legs kicking all about and being so cute! The baby's heartbeat was around 160. Generally my boys have been around 160 or 170 and my girls were almost always in the 130's. I am feeling like it is a boy and Dave is feeling like it is a girl. Bryson, my almost 5 year old, says that he thinks it's a boy and we should name him "Chinese Harris". Yikes... that might confuse the poor kid! My doctor (who is by the way, one of my favorite people in the world) says he has a feeling it's a girl too! Guess we will have to wait and find out in November! I will be taking a poll before the sonogram!

It was just such a blessing and complete miracle to see our baby! God is so good to us!

Thanks for your prayers! We will keep you updated!

I'm so glad you got to see your Peanut! I hate to break it to you though...doc had a "feeling" with Cam AND E :) that they were girls too! I know you don't care, though but I thought that was funny. I'll be glad to hear in November--I can't stand waiting to find out the sex (everyone else's but my own, right?)

Ugh!

I didn't mean to end my comment so soon...

I'm glad you got to hear a heartbeat, and it's a blessing and a joy that you are still joyful about having more babies! That's so rare today.

Have a great day and hope to "see" yo soon!
