Today, is bittersweet. Today was my original due date for my January pregnancy. Part of me is sad about a life lost, but more then anything I am happy about the life that is growing.
On Tuesday, we went in for our ultrasound and appointment and everything looked perfect. We saw a strong heartbeat (174), kicking arms and legs and a baby that was measuring just like it should. It was a beautiful thing. The ultrasound tech took lots of pictures and even gave us a disc with photos and videos.
When we got back we finally shared the news with close friends and family. It was so surreal to tell people what was going on. My friends, who know about January, were really excited. I've gotten lots of texts and emails just letting me know how they are so happy for us. Eric's mom and grandma seemed happy too. Even my brother was excited and wanted to see the video from the ultrasound. It was so crazy to finally be telling people. It made it all so much more real to share the news.
Today, we also leave for our European vacation. It will be a nice to go away and have one more hoorah.
So while there is some bitter today, its thankfully overshadowed by the sweet.
