To say I was a little stressed about getting the US done is an understatement. I didn't even know how stressed until the warm gel hit the belly and the probe made contact. It's such a hard sell now for all these screenings, amnios, US and genetic work ups. My hubby and I went into this pregnancy praising God for the opportunity to be parents again and felt very strongly that whatever God gave us was what God wanted. A screening result would not have changed anything in the course of our pregnancy.
As soon as the probe made contact with the belly I started crying. Not tearing up, CRYING. A fountain of tears came pouring out. Poor US tech thought I was uncomfortable from the US and my overly full bladder (which I then got to empty).
What caused this outpouring of tears - the most amazing, beautiful, sight that I could have laid eyes on
A beautiful, perfectly created, baby. A four chambered heart, perfect head circumference, abdominal organs all intact, spinal cord complete, two arms and two legs measuring right at the dates estimated (not too big not too small). He/she even did acrobatic moves while being filmed.
Tears of Joy, Tears of Stress - but most of all Tears of Praise that God once again shows his hand in our lives in such a small, yet so big, way!
PRAISE GOD!!
