So, today we went in to see the doctor and took our first Ultrasound picture. Originally we thought we were gonna do an ultra, then they said we weren't because she normally doesn't take a pictures until week 12, and then she said she wanted to take a quick look around to make sure things were going ok. Well, let me just say that I about cried.
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when we went into the room to do the ultra. The last image we saw was just of a little black spec where the sac was forming. So, today when we went in, I was kinda excited but at the same time not knowing what to expect. She started the ultrasound and originally all that I saw was this little black circle, which I assumed was the sac continuing to form. It was quite a bit larger than it was a few weeks ago. As she continued to move around a white shape came into view and got clearer. Suddenly, there was my little baby, her beautiful little head appearing on the screen. I started to laugh and got a huge smile on my face, while at the same time my eyes started to mist and a single tear started to fall from the side of my eye. I couldn't believe that this little being starting to form was the miracle that God started. It is absolutely amazing to see the tiny little thing that will one day grow to be a mighty man or woman of God. To think that only 30 short years ago I was in the same position, growing and forming in my mother's womb, God carefully knitting together my frame and my DNA to make me who I would be today. I wonder, what will my child think in 30 years? What will they look like? What will they be doing?
Well, as the doctor continued to look around, we got different views of the baby and were able to see clearly the little head and what looked like the arms and legs forming, the little umbilical cord that was attached to the placenta wall, and even saw her little heart. Yes, I saw the heart moving and beating. You could see a small part in the center of my baby, a little white part that started to pulsate and move with the beating of her little heart. I actually did start to cry a little and even now I'm getting misty eyed thinking about it. How amazing is our God! Then, I thought I saw a little movement or maybe it was just me, but the doctor pointed it out as well and we saw our little one move around a bit, as if to say, "Yeah, mom and dad, it's me. I'm alive. Can you see me? Jesus is taking good care of me and making me beautiful. I can't wait to see you and have you hold my little hands."
I'm starting to cry right now and I need to bring this blog to an end. I can't wait to see my baby! God, you are such an amazing and wonderful Father, to create something so wonderful, carefully piecing together a little body. You are truly a God of wonders, who loves His children. Even now I can feel swells of pride as I think of the beating heart inside of Lisa's womb, seeing her move made my heart leap with joy and pride, and imagine that is only a shadow and fraction of the pride and joy our Father takes when He looks at us, His children.
