So basically as soon as I got home from out of town, I was heading off to the hospital for a follow up ultrasound from my scare last week.

Well, things look great alhamdulillah! Of course I am still not fully past the danger zone but I am getting there. I could see the baby moving a little!

It was so emotional because I have never seen my baby grow to this stage. When the ultrasound technician said that there was a heartbeat and showed me the screen, I was just so, so happy!!

 Hubby couldn’t make it (he was working across the border) so my mum came. When she was called into the room no one had told her whether everything was OK or not. So poor her - she walks in and I am in tears. So I say “The baby is fine!” and go into complete sobbing. My poor mum had no idea what I said. To her it sounded like “(sob, cry, sob sob) Baby is (sob, cry, sob sob)” LOL! I was completely incoherent! LOL

So then she said hesitant;y “The baby is….. fine?” And I said yes then we both cried! What a day. So the ultrasound tech came back in and showed us everything again. Funny thing is, when the tech moved the wand closer to the baby’s legs, we thought we saw a sprout of ’something’ down there. I thought it was a girl but who knows, maybe I am wrong! Allahu Alim!!

 Hubby was supposed to be gone until like 8 or something but I called him and told him and he came all the way from the states in like 30 minutes he was so excited. Aww, what a guy!

I just feel so relieved…

I know I am not out of the ballpark yet, but I feel better that Allah has let baby make it this far.

Oh, and if you take a look at the first pic, baby is waving a little!
