Where we are :)

Hi everyone. So, we have a lot going on right now, but it is all GOOD stuff. We are so thankful for all of the blessings the Lord has laid on us. We have sold our house, and have bought a new house. The closings are set for October 16th. We are very excited about this, and are praying against being anxious about things going well. So far, we have all of our ducks in a row and are even ahead of the game for packing! (Thanks to some sweet sweet friends who helped up empty our CRAZY large attic last night)

The baby seems to be doing well. I will be 15 weeks on Sunday. My next appointment is in 2 weeks with my regular OBGYN. After that appointment we start our specialist visits on Oct 22nd. On the 22nd, we find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and if this protein group that Scott has and I don't is affecting the baby. I am nervous off and on about finding that out, and we ask that you pray first and foremost that the baby does NOT have the protein group. If it does, we ask that you also pray that my antibodies are not aggressively attacking the baby's red blood cells.

A dear sweet friend has allowed me to borrow her medical grade fetal doppler, so that I can listen to the baby's heartbeat as much as I need/want to. I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I know that seems excessive, but it really keeps me calm. The heartbeat started out at 160-170 from weeks 10-13, and has now moved more towards the 150s, sometimes high 140s. This drop is normal in the 2nd trimester.

That's the update for now :) Please pray. We know that God uses your prayers to keep us calm and they are such a blessing to us.

PREGNANT :)

Hey all, we are 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant today! The baby's heartbeat is around 150. Our official due date is on March 21, 2010, but if all goes well, we will have a C-section scheduled for March 14, 2010. We've had 3 sonograms, and the baby looks great!
