Today's Sono!

Today I had my second sono for this pregnancy and was able to see the little heartbeat! 152 beats per minute. It shows that I am 7 weeks 3 days and that my due date is November 4th. I am so, so, so happy! I am trusting God that this will be a full term-healthy pregnancy! Below is a picture of our sweet little one.

Jeremiah 29:11 ¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Sono Update!

On Thursday I had my first sonogram. The sono confirms there is a sac and a yolk sac present! That being said the sono dated me to be 5 and 1/2 weeks PREGNANT!!!!! I am VERY excited but still reserved in light of what happened last time. On March 21st I will be having a second sono to hopefully to see the heart beat. My doctor said a second sono was not needed medically but he understood if I wanted to come in and see the heartbeat, and that he had no problem with me coming back in 10 days. He assured me that this pregnancy looks great my HCG levels have tripled as they should and what they could see on this last sono is all the expected to see at 5 1/2 weeks. I am thankful for a wonderful caring doctor. I always/also want to thank my GOD for this tiny little life growing inside me. I am thankful HE holds my future.

HCG update #2

Ok, so good news from the doctor! My HGC levels are increasing and it looks like exactly what we had hoped for! I am scared to even say the word pregnant because I am afraid if I do,  something will happen and I wont be. I guess this is normal after having a miscarriage. I know I need to put my trust in God and I do. I just think we are all human and human emotions can be a hard thing to control at times. I will be going next Thursday for a confirmation sonogram in hopes that everything looks normal for a healthy pregnancy! I am excited but reserved knowing that pregnancy can not be taken for granted, life in itself shouldn't be either. Each and every moment is truly a gift from God.

HCG Levels

I guess I should start this post with an update. I went last Wednesday after getting a VERY faint positive home pregnancy test to the doctor for blood work confirmation. They were to check my HCG level and my progesterone level. My progesterone level came back high...which is good. My HCG level came back low which is ok for early pregnancy, but my doctor wanted to wait until today and re-check my HCG to see if the levels increased. This will tell us if this is a true pregnancy. I should know results by Thursday afternoon. I know that God is in control of all of this and that its his will not mine.Its the waiting that's hard.  So I am waiting/ praying for good results and hoping that we will soon see the desire of our hearts. (maybe via ultrasound)
