It's Alive!

We had our first ultrasound today!! What a joy to see our little bean and it's beautiful, wonderful, perfect flicker of a heartbeat... It makes things so much more real. I'm almost 8 weeks - A month out from "being in the clear," but, I just had to share with the world today (and when I say world, I mean facebook). We're trusting God for a healthy, full-term baby!

I'm finally fully engaged and fully excited that I'm going to be a mom! The tear on Cam's cheek when the doc showed us our babe leads me to believe that he is just as excited as me.

When we first got married we decided that we were going to wait 3-5 years until we even thought about having kids. I've caught the baby bug more than once in the last year and half, but still "knew" it would be best to wait. Needless to say, I had a little bit of anxiety about the timing of our pregnancy. But, I'll tell you what, when I saw our "surprise" on the screen today, I didn't even think twice about being thrilled. What a gift from a loving God!

I promise I'll try to keep this blog focused on more entertaining, less mushy matters in the future. But, I just had to share a little sap today - a day that I'll never forget.
