21 week 3D/4D Sono!

So here are some pictures of our BEAUTIFUL little baby girl! I already think she looks like Caleb. I am so thankful we had these done. How sweet it will be for her as an adult to see herself in the womb :)

We love you Baby Girl Shambley and we cant wait to meet you!

Unexpected Sonogram Today

Today I will go at 2:50 for a sono to make sure everything is ok with our little one. I had a few complications over the weekend and my doctor would like for me to have a sonogram today just to double check that everything is fine. I feel like everything is fine and I do have complete peace about this pregnancy. I have prayed from the beginning for a full term healthy baby and I am trusting and believing that will be the outcome!

I will update the blog later with the sono results maybe they will be able to tell the gender today???



UPDATE: So the complication they were worried about was Placenta Previa and I indeed have this going on. This will require me to rest A LOT to avoid hospital bed rest. I have already had some spotting and this is cause for concern due to I have complete previa which means the cervix are completely covered. This could result in a pre term baby and a C- section. My hope of course is that none of the above will happen and that the Placenta will move and allow for a normal delivery.

So the girls ask me yesterday if I was going to find out what the baby was today. I boldly told them I already knew what the baby was because the desire of my heart was a baby girl and I knew that GOD was going to give me the desire of my heart so with that said I told them I felt sure this baby was a GIRL.

So the best news of the day is the gender results.....the sono technician "thinks" its a GIRL!!!!!!! :) :) :) This was the most wonderful news of my YEAR! I have prayed for a girl since the last miscarriage. I just want to THANK my Lord for loving me and giving me the desires of my heart.

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Relief

The definition of relief is the easing of a burden or distress. Today that's exactly what I received. I went to my 11 week doctors visit hoping to hear this little ones heart beat and behold we heard that tiny little beating heart at a beautiful 184 BPM! That to me fits the definition of relief. Tonight, I am basking in God's love for me and praying that this pregnancy produces a full term healthy baby girl !

In other news, I took Caleb for a hair cut today at Hair Diddle Diddle and they gave him a very handsome hair cut! The best part for him is they gave him a sucker to eat...this is the first one he has ever had and he LOVED it! I guess his Easter basket may have a few of those this year :)

It's been awhile

Sorry, I know its been awhile since I post anything. I am currently 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant! Things look good as far as I can tell. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday afternoon. I am trying to be relaxed about the appointment but truth is I'm really SCARED. I guess its because the last 11 week appointment I went to pregnant, I found out about the miscarriage. It was sooo disappointing and sooo unexpected. I had no signs of miscarriage at all. SOOO even though I feel fine and I have NO sign of miscarriage this time I still have anxiety about going to this appointment.. I know I need to trust and I want to TRUST.  Its just really hard to do after a loss. I promise to update the blog on Thursday after my appointment. I am hoping to hear the heartbeat :)

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.
