Yesterday, Billy and I experienced one of life's greatest gifts for the first time! We had our first (very early) ultrasound to confirm baby Bird is nesting in the right place. Praise God all looks good. We saw our tiny tiny little baby (really it just looks like a seed). :)
We are so thankful for our Doctor! Dr. Winslow has been so professional and such a gift in our journey to parenthood. I'm so blessed that God used him to help us. The Dr. office was finally a HAPPY place to be yesterday. We've had so many upsets in the same room that it was nice to finally breathe and Praise God for this miracle...and bringing us through it. Next week we get to see the heartbeat. Right now I'm about 5w3days and according to the Doc, we'll be having a baby January 12th!!
Growing Baby Bird 5w2d
Update on Mother's Day and reveling the big news!
We told the Birds at their home just before taking them to breakfast for Mother's Day. They were very excited. This will be their 19th grandchild so you can imagine they were excited but they've been down this road before. I think I expected fireworks when we told them and that didn't happen. haha
Headed to Folkston for reveal #2
Next was spending the day with my parents in Folkston. Mom and Dad were just doing things around the house and once they settled to sit and talk to us Billy handed Mom her Mother's Day card. It said "Happy Mother's Day Grandma!" She was confused as she read the note inside from "growing baby Bird" - she lost it! She was so surprised and elated. Dad said, "he knew" (of course he did, sure...:)). We had the best afternoon and even jumped the gun a bit and narrowed down my crib selection. :)
Tonight, I have a dinner date tonight with my cousin, Ashley. She's been such a prayer warrior and encouragement through this. If anyone knows the struggle and now joy, it is her and J. I cannot wait to tell her the prayers have been answered. Now, we are praying for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby! God is so good.
