Feeling very blessed! :) 9 weeks down, 31 to go!

We had a scare yesterday. I started spotting. It was immediately after using my medicine which I won't go into much detail about. Knowing my history of miscarriages, I kinda freaked out a little bit and couldn't stop crying up until around 2:00 when curtis came and picked me up to go to our emergency ultrasound. We both were very upset and worried. We then went back to the ultrasound room, and as soon as the baby popped up on the screen, we searched for the heartbeat.. The ultrasound technician measured the baby and everything is perfect! Apparently when i used my meds yesterday, I may have bumped my cervix since it's swollen due to pregnancy. This has never happened before in the last few weeks i've been on the medicine. But everything is great! It was fun because the ultrasound technician said she never really gets to see the babies at 9 weeks, so she played with the 3d ultrasound and we got to see our baby that is starting to resemble a baby!! :) Check out the picture! Isn't it amazing??? :) Heartbeat was 180 bpm this time! Up 10 bpm since the last ultrasound :) Below the 3d Ultrasound image is the regular ultrasound image which looks like a peanut :) Everything is going perfect right now :) We feel very blessed!
