Baby Love.
ByToday was the third time we caught a glimpse. But this time, it was different. There were definite arms and legs, movement so beautiful and that heartbeat, oh my God that heartbeat that was beating at 162 miraculous beats per minute. With each beat, our love for this baby multiplied over and over again. Cliche…but true.
Today, when the baby appeared on the screen, we could see A BABY. We could see OUR baby. Deep inside me this tiny baby flipped and fluttered and although I physically could not feel it, emotionally, WE COULD FEEL IT.
I could hear Brian’s laughter that ended with the sweetest sigh, filled with relief. I could feel his hand, reach over to mine and squeeze and not let go.
I can not believe how much we love this baby, OUR BABY. This baby that is surrounded by our James and Jake and our tiny precious baby that we lost this past January…this baby is protected by the sweetest guardian angels. We have so many fears being pregnant, but it won’t stop us from loving. Nothing could ever stop us from loving the baby we saw today. Maybe it’s our fear that makes us love even more.
Baby Fletcher – 9 weeks 2 days. Due April 3, 2010.

Oh, Beth, I am SOOO excited for you!!! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, because I’m so thankful that God has blessed you again! And, wow, what a gorgeous clear picture on that early ultrasound – maybe it’s because I’m overweight, but my 8/9 week ultrasounds are always just a blur with a heartbeat. Can’t wait to hear more details!!! Praying that all goes well for you!!!
Eyes welling up for you! Just got back from vacation and checking the reader and to see this news? So exciting!

Prayers as you continue on this journey.
Congratulations!!!!!!!! You and your family with be in my thoughts in prayers.
So excited for you all! Congratulations Beth! This is such wonderful news!
I wrote you a year or so ago, after a friend referred me to your blog after my late miscarriage. I’ve been following it ever since. I just wanted to say congratulations on this wonderful news, and let you know that I have such a good feeling about this. After my miscarriage, i got pregnant again and delivered my little baby boy on April 3 2009. Your due date is a good one
It is also my sister’s birthday. So it’s definitely a good one.
I definitely felt fearful all throughout my pregnancy, and had to take a deep breathe almost every day and remind myself to enjoy it and not fear it. At some point, I heard the song “I’m Yours” by Jason Marz and i knew then that it was time to give myself over to this new baby. It deserved all the love and happiness i had in me – it did not deserve the fear. It really helped me let go.
So, give it a listen when you feel ready. I hope it does the same for you. I wish you all the best!
Beth, I guess I have been wrapped up in my own little world here, I didn’t know!!! I am just so very very happy for you! Congratulations!
Beth- I cannot believe I have been so consumed with my own drama that I totally missed this post. I mean, I check in every now and then but apparently I haven’t seen any posts with anything pregnancy related! Congratulations. My heart is just so full for you right now and I will be checking back often.
