Here we see the heartbeat but couldn't hear it. Once the doctor got the baby on the screen we saw the heartbeat instantly. |

Here is where we heard the fast little heartbeat. Greatest moment in our lives. Shaun through his arms in the air and yelled "YES!" |

Here is our cute little bean, still very very little |

And here is the baby again |
Many of you have been following our painful journey to try and get pregnant so we thought we'd announce the birth of our baby as a blogger exclusive for now. I am 7 weeks, which is still early but this Monday we had a doctors appointment and we were able to see and hear the heartbeat. My levels are great and this is the furthest I have ever made it. Seeing the heartbeat decreased my chances of miscarrying 90%, which of course still leaves 10% but that 90% decrease was music to my ears and the number we are focusing on! I am nauseas pretty much everyday, but I love every minute of it because it lets me know this baby is in their growing. We feel extremely blessed because although we have not done anything to prevent a baby this was completely unexpected given the fact that next to keeping the baby, getting pregnant is very difficult. I am on several different things to keep this baby growing, this includes: Prenatals, folic acid (in addition to the prenatals), a B-complex vitamin, baby aspirin, progesterone, and I also have to have two shots of heparin a day. Praying everyday this baby will be coming to us this November. We feel so blessed!
Congrats a million! I'm paying all stays well with you and that baby!
