We are still here....

Wow, I am so bad at posting. I have so much to update on, as we have had 3 birthdays this months....but more on that later. I have decided to post updates on our pregnancy and family on my blog instead of facebook, as I am trying to weed out fb (it will take time for me to completely part ways). So if you read my blog, then consider yourself updated.....

We had our ultrasound, and praise God, baby looks PERFECT:) I am so relieved. The unfortunate part is I am still plagued with this darn subchorionic hemorhage. We have known about this since I was 6 weeks pregnant. In fact, this is the reason I went to the doctor in the first place and found out this blessed news of a new baby. Anyway, it is relatively common, and usually does not cause any problems. But it does put us at slightly higher risk for preterm labor, so I will be having an ultrasound once a month until baby is born. The Doctor is very optimistic that I will go full term, but there is always that chance (and of course as a mom, it is hard not to focus on that). The reason I have decided to be so open about our experience is that I strongly believe in the power of prayer. So please join us as we pray that this clot will either a.) resolve on its own or b.) not cause any complications with the pregnancy and allow baby to grow to full term. Thank-you all so much!


Oh yeah, and the sex of the baby is........




A SURPRISE AGAIN

We have been worried about this baby from day one because of this hemmorhage, so the fact that baby is healthy is really all we care about. Now, onto planning and deciding a name:)
