We saw the most BEAUTIFUL thing today!

3/8/2016

Have you ever stopped to genuinely take in the beauty of nature?  Like a beautiful spring flower, a summer sunset, crisp leaves falling from the trees in the autumn, or even the first snow fall of winter?  In these moments, I've always thought about how lucky I am to be able to stop and quietly take in the beauty of these things as nature creates them.  Today I got to see a different side of nature.....our tiny little miracle's beating heart at 115 times per minute, on an ultrasound screen - and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I cannot put into words what I felt at that exact moment in the ultrasound room.  I remember staring at the ultrasound screen, and then I saw it.  I saw it before the words came out of the ultrasound technician's mouth....my heart dropped as I didn't want to be let down in case my eyes were playing tricks on me.  It seemed like forever although it was only a second or two from the moment I spotted it to when the words finally came out of her mouth...."Do you see that little flicker?  That's your babies heart!".  I remember the hot tears streaming down my face.  I remember my husband grabbing my hand, and his breathing he had of excitement.  I remember the relief I had, and knowing that he was feeling the same thing.  Most of all I remember the absolute pure joy I felt of knowing that our tiny little miracle is alive and thriving inside of me.

Today we're only 6 weeks and 3 days, with a due date of October 28th.  What matters is that in this very moment we're already proud parents of something the size of a sweet pea.

    Me In A Nutshell

    My name is Kristina and I'm 37.  Originally I'm a Southern CA girl, and I'm now living in  the "burbs" of Chicago.  I love my son, my husband, my family, my fur babies, and my wonderful friends.  I love wine, love to relax, love to have a good time, I'm a little adventurous, love to people watch, and I'm always down for a last minute road trip to virtually anywhere. I'm obsessed with the smell of racing fuel...weird I know - and fresh cut grass! I love to be home, but hate to sit at the house. If I'm excited I get pretty random - sometimes I talk about multiple subjects at once - I'll admit it's probably hard to keep up.  My husband and I battled infertility for 5 years before having a successful pregnancy - our son Colton Charles was born September 30th, 2016, Although we have had success with the birth of Colton, our battle still continues with infertility.  I've learned it's a wonderful & beautiful thing to share with others the journey that we've walked in the world of infertility.  Welcome to our story.
