Most of our readers already know but now it is time to make it a bit more official and write some about it on the blog.

Today Sam and I went to the clinic for our second ultrasound. I am now towards the end of the 12th week. Risks decrease significantly but worries remains. But that is not what I am focusing on today.

The baby is now only inches (6 cm) long yet we could see hints of fingers and toes. This is not the “big” ultra sound machine you see on TV shows (no checking the heart chambers etc, just to ease our worries and make sure the heart was beating). It is less technically defined. The baby was mostly laying camly not moving too much but then all of a sudden we could see both legs move, then the arms, then it curled up (it is called fetal position for a reason) only to stretch out a bit again.

Today we are happy and calm but worries will slowly creep back. We are thankful for all the prayers that are carrying us through those difficult days. And we wanted to also share some of our joy today!
