We had my first ultrasound at six weeks and we got to see our little baby Franco's heartbeat! It is absolutely amazing that at just 6 weeks and a quarter of an inch (now the size of a blueberry) our baby's heart is beating and this week will be full of brain growth. Such a miracle.
In the midsts of all our joy over the first heartbeat we saw, we were saddened to learn that we only have one...don't get me wrong, we are both so very thankful and feel totally blessed with our One...but we grew attached to both of our embryos over the last few weeks, so it was hard to hear that our second didn't make it. It broke my heart to see how sad my hubby's face was when the doctor said one, and I think the hardest part was telling everyone else that we are having one. Most people don't even tell others they are pregnant until the 12 week just to be safe, and now I understand. We have been very open and honest with our family and friends in this process, including our excitement for possible twins, so that made it harder for us... And to be completely honest, their was a moment that we (hubby and I) thought maybe embryo #2 could be hiding behind #1...but its just wishful thinking. We know God's plans are greater than our own...and we are so very thankful for our one precious little blueberry.
I wanted to share the best part of this process, the ultrasound...because I was only 6 weeks pregnant it was still too early to measure a heartbeat and hard to see the it too. The doctor had me hold my breath so I was completely still and then you can see the flicker. I keep watching and re-watching, I'm so amazed. Our next ultrasound is on Wednesday and we will be able to get a measurement of the heartbeat and even hear it...I'm so excited!
