We had our 6 week ultrasound today.... and saw (and heard!) one heartbeat!
It was funny because the doctor at my outside monitoring facility walked in and said, "You are 6 weeks, zero days today. I do not expect to see a hearbeat. WE (our facility) does not schedule ultrasounds until at least 7.5 weeks. "
I didn't know how to respond to this, so I just clenched my husband's hand tighter, kept my arm over my face, and just prayed.
Sure enough, there was that blessed flicker. A hearbeat. I squeezed my husband's hand even tighter.
Then she said, "You know, you normally can't hear a heartbeat, but you're so thin, we might be able to." And sure enough, "chug... chug... chug...chug". 90 beats per minute, which she said was good for again, repeating very sternly to me "Just 6 weeks, Zero days."
Now to the title of this post. God is amazing (duh). But I'd been praying earnestly and trying to seek His voice. I was starting to get confused between His voice, and my own voice of fear. Every once in a while, I'd get some clarity, but then my Fear Voice would just trample all over it.
But in the midst of the chaos, God has been telling me for a while that He took one baby home, but that we'd see a heartbeat today.
And that's just what He did.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I've been praying all morning long!
