NT Ultrasound scan

Today I had my NT Scan. It was a first for me as I have never had it done in previous pregnancies. It was a very easy, painless procedure. It was so funny because "Baby Perin" was not cooperate at all. The baby was moving around and turning flips and doing it's own thing. My appointment took a little longer than usual. We did get the heartbeat, it was 156 bpm so still pretty fast. Breann was at my appt today and recorded and took some pics of "baby perin" for my IP's. The appt all in all went great once "baby perin" started to cooperate. We will have the results of the scan by my next appt on 7/19/11. Well all is well over here until later loves......................

The Baby Doppler has arrived!!!

I placed a order for a baby Doppler, It arrived today via fed ex. I opened it and to my surprise I found "Baby Perin's" heartbeat almost immediately. I called the kids downstairs so they could hear it also and if you could've seen the excitement and awe on their little faces that they could actually hear the baby's heartbeat. This is the first time I have ever thought about or actually rented one. It was something that we were able to experience as a family and it is a memory that I will always cherish. I can't wait to Skype my IP's and let them hear their baby's heartbeat as well. I am grateful that this pregnancy is progressing so well and I don't take a minute of it for granted. I am grateful and thankful for each and everyday this baby is able to stay and grow healthy in my womb. side note: I took my last P.I.O injection on July 3, 2011. So, now we are on to our second trimester. I am content and blessed to be able to be the vessel used by God to bless the Perin family. I truly can't express it enough. I know they are grateful to me for doing this but honestly and truthfully I am grateful to GOD for entrusting me to carry and nurture their child. Thank you Lord. Again, this journey is unfolding and is becoming more and more in depth. I did not expect this journey to be so complex but I am learning a lot about my self and it is actually making my marriage and my relationship with my family stronger. I cherish it a lot more than before if that is even possible. well until later loves.................
