After having 4 ultrasounds last year, each one revealing crazy, dysfunctional ovaries and a lonely, empty uterus, today I saw this.
Complete with a little flickering heartbeat.
Perhaps some of you are aware of the struggle the past 15 months have been as we tried to start a family, and then were told by a fertility specialist that our only hope of conceiving was by doing in-vitro fertilization. Well, two days before our appointment to start all of that ordeal, we found out we were pregnant. That was three weeks ago...and today our baby measures 1.2cm, and I am still in shock.
Words fail me...I can only echo the joyfulness, gratitude and praise reflected in the the words David the Psalmist:
"I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall be continually in my mouth.
My soul will make its boast in the Lord,
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
O taste and see that the Lord is good,
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!"
All praise be to God for this little blessing.
