I waited for this day forever. At least it seemed like forever. We found out we were pregnant on October 8th and didn't have our first ultrasound until December 2nd. And I didn't let myself get overly excited until I saw that sweet baby on the screen. Isn't our baby so precious?
I think I took more in on this ultrasound than I did with Grayson. Our technician knew about our loss back in May so I think she took a little more time showing us around our new little human and pointing out the amazing things that you can see at just 12 weeks. We saw the hands, the heartbeat, the eye sockets and we could even see the two hemispheres of the brain! It is amazing to me how detailed and perfectly created our baby is even at only 12 weeks past conception. (Really only 10 if you know how counting pregnancy weeks works).
The other really cool thing she did was to measure our baby's foot. You could clearly see the bottom of the feet so she measured them and they were an amazing 7 mm long. Isn't that cool? I immediately wanted to find a ruler to see exactly how sweet and tiny my baby's feet are.
What better way to prove God's almighty power and creativity than through his development of babies in their mother's womb. I love being pregnant because I'm just in awe of how God can design something so incredibly perfect. That our cells would divide and multiply in just the right way to create a seeing, feeling, speaking, hearing, loving, and understanding person inside of me. We are so blessed.
I think this is the most incredible miracle of all and continuous reminder to me of God's sovereignty and love for us! I just can't help but smile from the inside out, every time I think of all the expectant mothers I know and all the precious babies who are indivually created and perfected by God Himself.
