PRAYING HARD for LIIL SPROUT

Well...we've had our first scare with lil sprout(that's what we call our baby). I had some spotting last week and again last night. It was so little this time that had I not been so in tune with my body right now-I wouldn't have noticed. I called the doctor since all my levels were good last week and they scheduled an ultrasound. Donnie was so upset he couldn't go b/c of lots of work issues and short notice! I am so bleesed,though, that my mom could go. It was a challenge making me wait with a full pregnant bladder but they got me in quick. They did a transvaginal u/s(kinda scary at first) but we found that lil sprout is 6 wks and 3 days and I saw the heart fluttering at 116 beats per minute. However---there is a subchorionic bleed which is basically a blood clot where the placenta attaches itself to the uterus. This usually heals itself but could potentially cause a miscarriage if it gets bigger! My doctor's office told me to rest all weekend and Doc would call me Monday to talk about next step.

We trust the Lord with His child and pray that he allows healing and a healthy continuance of pregnancy. He knows how much we love this baby already!

We appreciate all the prayers for our lil sprout that we can get!!

OOH BABY !

Wow...the moment we've been waiting for for five months! We're going to have a baby!!! I found out last Friday and waited ALL day to tell Donnie. I went to the mall after work and bought a pair of newborn Nikes. I sat them on top of their box with the positive test for when Donnie got home. When he came in he said "Who'd you buy those for?". I said "What?". He said it again. I said "Who do you think?!". His eyes got big and he asked me not once but about five times if I was seriously pregnant! Needless to say he was shocked and sooo very excited! It is only about my fifth week as far as I know so we want to be careful,prayerful and enjoy our gift that God has chosen to bless us with! We appreciate your prayers for our little miracle!
