Butterflies

Today I am 7 weeks.  Tomorrow we have our first ultrasound.  I'm not even sure how to put into words everything I'm feeling.  Part of me is bursting with excitement and joy at the thought of seeing our little one.  Another part of me is more scared than I've ever been in my entire life.  I have constant butterflies in my stomach that started last night.  If all is well tomorrow we will be more than 1/2 way through the first trimester.  Our baby should have a steady heartbeat.  Ears, eyes, nose, arm and leg buds developing.  It seems unreal.  I'm praying that it's not.

    1. You are right I feel completely overwhelmed with emotion. Emotions of every kind. I'm trying so hard to keep the negative thoughts out but they keep jumping back in. Praying praying praying.

    1. It's so stressful. I'm just hoping with everything I have that the baby is growing and developing like it should be and we get good news. 24 hours left. It feels like forever.
