This is about my hope and desire for a baby of my own. It has been a 3 year journey and we have come to a crossroads.

9 weeks
Wow I am feeling so amazed and blessed. I had an amazing US today even saw the feet and hands moving.. S/He was just a fluttering. I measured at 9w1d and the heartbeat was 178bpm. I am just amazed! The actual picture is upside down as they are stuck to the top of my uterus.
I am an stay at home Air force wife!
I have 2 wonderful dogs Goldie and Meadow(she is my Fatty McMuffin).
I have an amazing husband who loves cake. I am also trying so hard to become a momma!
