Heartbeat!
We are SO rejoicing and singing His praises today! I hate it sometimes that we go into each pregnancy with a fear of the worst. I often wonder what it's like to just enjoy every moment from the get-go without these fears crossing your mind. But after losing two pregnancies, you feel as though you should hold your breath until the baby's born. But I'm so thankful to serve a living, loving God. He has been faithful, even in the not-so-good times. He has blessed us beyond belief in so many ways, even in the midst of our losses. We just could not bring ourselves to ever be angry with Him for things turning out against our wishes, He is just always too good to us! But we are even more excited when He blesses us with the desires of our heart. He knows us. That is just an amazing thought all on it's own. He knows every part of us and He loves us anyway. Not only loves us, but blesses us beyond what anyone deserves! Even with all the ugliness we've shown in our lives, all the sin that was deserving of Him turning His back on us... He still loves us. I only hope we can help our children to understand how deep and wide and long His love is. Praise the Lord!
Here is the first picture we have of our little Peanut! It's a shame I couldn't be the first one to take a pic! haha 
It's just so amazing and awesome to see & hear the teeny tiny heartbeat of a little baby growing inside of you! Wow. Words cannot express the joy in our hearts. I just can't imagine how people cannot see there is a God. Who else can do something so amazing?
Here is a picture I found of a baby at 5 weeks:
A little booklet I received from the Dr's office said that for weeks 5-7, "... a lot will happen in the growth of your baby. Her (his?) heart begins to beat, her brain and nervous system begin to grow rapidly, and her arms and legs begin to grow. Facial features, including her eyes, also start to form as early as the 6th and 7th week." How amazing is that? And except for me looking a bit green these days, no one would know what incredible things are happening inside!

So, any bets on the gender? We'd love another little guy but will be thankful for either!
