My ob-gyn was right. Yesterday, my fertility doc said "Congratulations!" and smiled largely. Eight weeks ago, she would hardly smile and was very "professional". I can understand.
What's more, something really special happened at the ultrasound. We saw the baby's face. I saw the little nose, some budding lips and eyelids. It was the first time since I've been pregnant that... forgive me for saying this... that I've had a fond thought for this little one. Before it looked like a blob on a screen and I had a hard time wrapping my brain around the actuality of it all.
I'm not the only one... Morgan drew a picture of the baby the other day. It was a black and white painting and the baby had no face. She's used to seeing our ultrasound "blob" photos, too. I asked her where the face was and she said that "it hasn't grown one yet".
But there it was. A face. Pretty amazing.
Below is an approximate image of what a 3D would look like of it... it's from babycenter.com.

God is SO faithful and SO good. I can only imagine how you must feel getting to this point.
I am celebrating with you today, my friend.
Keep growing, little one. You are so very loved.
Congratulations!! I am so happy that you were able to see the little one's face. What a joy. Hope you have a great weekend reveling in this hopeful little one.
Yay baby! We will keep praying that the little one is safe and healthy and coming to a maternity ward near you. :)
Oh Em, congratulations is just not a big enough word here. We are just so grateful to God for this gift. Oh, and to see its face...sigh. HUGS!

Congratulations friend, indeed lets throw a 12 week party. Hey I am all about that one. Does 12 weeks feel like full term to you? I am hoping and praying that the yuckies will be on there way out, after all don't they know they ARE NOT welcome past the 12 week mark! :-) Enjoy the miracle my friend!
