So far, so good

Things have not been easy during this pregnancy. I've had lots of spotting, and been totally convinced that I've lost the pregnancy on several occasions. But somehow, God has allowed this baby to be strong enough to keep on growing. I'm 8 weeks exactly and today I got to hear the heartbeat for the very first time. I sobbed - it was the most beautiful sound in the world. I continue to pray, thanking God for this blessing and asking for his continued presence with this baby to allow her to grow and thrive.
