The lunch meeting prior to the appointment was silenced by my nerves and upset stomach. I ate a light salad and forced in as much of the chicken as I could. I felt like it was my first pregnancy and I had never had an ultrasound before!
I can't really say why my nerves were a wreck. Maybe, in the back of my mind, I was worried there was something wrong again. Maybe, I was truly scared there was two in there. Maybe, I am truly scared to handle one? No matter, I had prayed and been blessed with another opportunity to carry a child and deep down, under the nausea and nerves, I was thrilled to see my little "butter bean" for the first time!
I warned the ultrasound technician of my nerves and the reasoning behind them. She giggled and said, "Lets see whats going on in there ourselves." I bet a lot of parents get themselves worked up over nothing...and I bet a lot of parents get worked up over something while they are in there and find 2 or more kids!
The machine came on and slowly the uterus came into view......and then, the amniotic sac and the little yolk sac and baby blob.... one baby blob!
Phew! And :( .... Weird, huh? Honestly, deep down, I would have loved to experience twins, but honestly, deep down, I am thrilled to add just ONE more. :) Thank you Lord for blessing us with a little butter bean who has made it's home in the right place!
