It's A Girl!!!

Prayer Request...

Please pray for us... I received a call from my dr's office last week informing us that after she reviewed my ultrasound results, she discovered I have partial placenta previa.

It is only partial and there is still a big chance that the placenta will move up over the next few months. I was told that I will have another ultrasound during my 34th week to see if the placenta has moved.

I have an ultrasound scheduled this Friday and the nurse said that it would be too soon for the placenta to move if it's going to.

But I know that I serve a very big God and I am believing that the placenta has already moved and that everything is fine!!!

If you pray, please stand with me that God has already taken care of this situation and what was meant to cause pain will be used to glorify Him!!!

Thanks!!!

Ultrasound update...

We had our ultrasound yesterday morning as scheduled and baby looks great!!! Unfortunately we were not able determine the gender. That's right - our little one had it's back turned to us the entire time and even though it was extremely active, it just wouldn't turn over. The tech tried for over an hour, but apparently our little one was too comfortable ... or maybe too modest... to show us anything!!!

Needless to say, we have been waiting a while to find out so we were a bit disappointed that we were unable to see anything. Until today...

I had another doctor's appt earlier today and apparently there were a few other things that the tech was unable to see clearly because of the baby's position. Because of this, my dr has scheduled us for another ultrasound on May 30th!!!

Prayerfully the baby will be facing us this time and we'll be able to tell this time!!! :-)

PS Thanks to those who've asked about what we found out!!! Sorry it took me awhile to get this posted!!!

Ultrasound Later Today...

We finally have our ultrasound later this morning and are so excited!!! Our appt is at 10:30 am and we can't wait to find out if we're going to have a little girl or boy.

Please pray that everything goes well... that the baby is still healthy -- and we are praying for a daughter this time... pray, pray, pray!!! LOL (Again, we will still be happy if it's a boy, too!!!)

Thanks so much for all the prayers and I will post again real soon... :-)

Update on DS

Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for DS yesterday!!!

As for the dr appt, DS was diagnosed with Cyclic Abdominal Migraines. He was given meds to take each night to prayerfully prevent anymore of these headaches. He was also given meds to take if he has another headache... I am believing he won't have to take any of these!

This has actually been going on for several years, but it used to be that DS would vomit repeatedly for no reason and then he would be just fine the next morning. It had been a while since he'd been sick like this until about 2 months ago. Only this time, he began having major headaches along with the vomiting.

Thanks again for your prayers and please continue to pray for him! We are believing that God has already healed him and that this whole situtation is a thing of the past!!!

Please pray...

Please pray for my little boy (DS)! He has a dr's appt at 10:45 am today. He has been getting very sick with headaches ... at least one a week over the last four weeks. Headaches are extremely painful and make him really sick at his stomach. Please pray that dr will find what is triggering these headaches and for complete healing!

Thanks!!! :-)

Almost 19 Weeks Already!!!

It's hard to believe that our newest little one will be here in less than 5 months... AGGHHH!!! I would've never guessed several months ago that we would be almost halfway to having another child right now. It's not what I had originally planned, but what a nice surprise! :-)

I've had several people asking how I'm feeling these days and to tell the truth, although I am over the morning sickness, I still have days where I don't feel too great. I do push myself a little more nowadays, but it can still be really difficult sometimes.

Here are more answers to some other questions I've been asked -

Do I look pregnant now? Yes! I do have a "baby bump" now and it seems to get bigger and bigger each day. I began wearing my maternity clothes this past week so I really look pregnant in those. The neat thing is, I had just lost almost 35 lbs when I found out I was pregnant so most of the clothes I had set aside to give away have become part of my maternity wardrobe. LOL

Have I felt the baby move? Yes! I felt this baby move a lot earlier than I did with my first one so I've been feeling it move for well over a month now. I began feeling little kicks about 2 weeks ago!!! So sweet!!!

Any weird cravings? Not so far. The only thing I "crave" I guess would be orange soda... which I really don't care for any other time.


And the questions I am asked the most (I'm sure all parents are aware of these - LOL) -


Are you going to find out the gender? We are hoping to. My next ultrasound is scheduled for May 15. I'll be almost 22 weeks at that point so we should be able to ... if baby cooperates.

Are you hoping for a boy or girl? Honestly, we are praying for a daughter this time, but would still be ecstatic if it is a little boy. DS on the other hand is praying for a brother! LOL

Have you picked out any names yet? Yes! Bethany Grace for a girl and Caden Alexander for a boy.

That's all I can remember at this moment, but if I can think of anymore questions I'll add my answers in another post.

God bless!!!
