I was blessed this morning to see my baby's strong and healthy heart beat. For those just joining, I am about 7 weeks along in my 3rd pregnancy. It was a huge relief and joy to see a healthy baby. I am not sure if other Mothers feel this way, but that first sonogram makes it more REAL. And being my third, it doesn't get any less exciting either. Knowing that this is most likely our last baby, this pregnancy is different. I am relishing everything, including the down times. Having to wait so long for this child has created in me a heightened appreciation for the glorious gift of pregnancy. Tears sprang to my eyes this morning as I saw the tiny little heart beating. The Doc gave me the sono pictures and not wanting to bend them I tucked them safely down inside my Bible that I keep in my purse. When I got home, I discovered that the picture was between the pages containing Psalm 139: 13 - 16. Fitting huh?!
"For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (NIV)
"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you , High God - you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration - what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day." (The Message)

Praise God! We are thrilled for you. There is something about hearing that heartbeat that really does make it real. I felt it each time with all of my pregnancies. Congratulations!
Yay!! A healthy baby!! :) That's wonderful! Prayin for you and that little one. Love you. :)
It's always fun when God gives us those kind of "coincidences" like marking an applicable verse in the Bible unintentionally. A couple months ago I was having a time of feeling distant from God, and I felt the need to open up to a completely random OT passage, then when I read it, it was a scripture talking about how God deeply loved Jacob. Ha!
