I had an absolutely fabulous day! I got sicker today than I have in awhile, but even that cannot stop my giddiness. I had an appointment today with a doctor that a few girls from my ward see and who speaks excellent English. That alone made the appointment very helpful.

Next on the “great things” list is that she was really helpful with my being sick. She answered a lot of my questions and gave me a refillable prescription of the magical medicine I have come to count on. She even mentioned that just having me continue my rather expensive prescription rather than trying something else was important enough just because of the peace of mind it would give me. Amen!

The absolutely most amazing part of my fabulous day was having my second ultrasound. At our last appointment what Chad and I saw was something that look like a little bean, and you could see the little heart flutter. That was interesting but today was AWESOME. As soon as Dr. Nadig began the ultrasound this little baby jumped! It was moving and reacting and it looked like a little person. I could see a little face, with a nose and jaw line. Elisa has a nose and a jaw line too–maybe it takes after her. I saw little legs and arms with fingers and toes. I just started to cry. The doctor kept saying that I had a very healthy baby and reassuring me of how positive everything was. The first thing I thought was that it was really real, and the next thing I thought was how much I wished Chad was there too. I cannot wait for him to see next time! I wish I was there too, because the still photos from the ultrasound are exciting. Experiencing that today was truly miraculous.
