June 27, 2018 was a horrible day. My husband and I went to our first doctors appointment so excited to see our little one, only to find out there wasn’t a heartbeat and babe was measuring a week and a half behind. We were devastated. When it was time to leave after discussing options to deal with the missed miscarriage, my midwife told us we could go out the back door to our car, so nobody had to see us losing it.

Skip forward.

I found out I was pregnant again a week before Christmas. As excited as we were, we have been terrified that it would happen again, and my first appointment was over a month away. So, as much as I seemed really excited and calm, I was terrified everyday that I would lose this baby as well. Well, today was my appointment. The moment the ultrasound technician started I knew things were different. My babe was dancing around and had the strongest heartbeat of 172! My husband was so giddy to see that and so was I! It was amazing to see a healthy baby growing inside me! When it was time to leave, I became so happy and emotional that we got to walk out the front door! 💕
