7 weeks - 7/3/07 - The Heartbeat

Jackie and I went to visit Dr. Sheri Hamersley for the first time since we found out about the pregnancy two weeks ago. We were both a little nervous going in - considering the issues in the past. We were both pleasantly surprised to see the the gray area in the sac on the monitor. During the first pregnancy, the sac was empty and the second time, all three (yes, THREE!!!) sacs were empty. The part of the office visit that really left an impression on us was when we heard and saw the heartbeat of the baby! We were ecstatic to hear it and to also find out that everything was normal. We know it's early - but we will continue to pray that the embryo will progress and that we end up with a healthy baby. This is a big step for us since we've never reached this point before in the previous two pregnancies! We're both very excited, very happy, and - at the same time - very nervous.

7 Semanas – 7/3/07 – Los Latidos

Jackie y yo fuimos a ver a la Dra. Hamersley ya que nos enteramos de que Jackie esta embarazada. Estabamos muy nerviosos a un principio, considerando los problemas que tuvimos anteriormente. Nos alegramos mucho de ver el area gris dentro de la bolsa cuando hicieron el sonograma. La primera vez, la bolsa estaba vacia, y la segunda vez, las tres bolsas (si, tres bolsas) estaban vacias. La parte que nos dejo mas impresionados en esta visita es que por fin pudimos escuchar los latidos del corazón del bebe. Nos allegro tanto escucharlo y saber de que todo parece estar normal. Sabemos de que es todavia un poco temprano – pero continuaremos orando para que el embrion progrese y termine dandonos un bebe saludable. Este es un paso muy importante para ambos, ya que anteriormente no habiamos llegado a este punto. Estamos super felices, pero al mismo tiempo super nerviosos.
