just an update

Well, since the weekend i havent had any more problems...which is good. had some more complications thursday of last week so i went to the hospital and the doctor in the e.r. was kind of a jerk...so much so, that if he was going to be one of the doctors on-call when i go to have the baby, i would switch hospitals. but thankfully he's only an e.r. doc so i dont have to worry. I've actually had a lot of people tell me he's not a very nice guy so its not just me. He was saying that theres no cahnce anyone will tell me if my baby is a boy or a girl ... even though when i went for my 15 week ultrasound, tehy tried to tell me, baby was just being unco-operative...so i dont think i'll be going back to the hanover emerg any time soon. We have another ultrasound next week so when im at my prenatal class today im going to ask around and see which girls went where to find out what tehy're having.
Other than that news, theres not been anything happening thats really interesting to talk about. Julian got a new job!! priase the lord. he's going to be working at a masonry place, long hard days but i think it will be good for him. the money is great and it will give him something to do all day instead of playing video games :P . he started today, the only downside is taht i have to drive him to his jobsite every morning so he can be there by 6 30!! i guess its giving me practice for baby though right?

So i already told those of you who dont know me the general gist of it...enough to know a bit about me. As you would have already read, Julian and I are 4 months pregnant with our first baby. Its been rough seeing as though we're not yet married and didnt expect this for quite some time, but we're both very happy now and looking forward to starting our family. The first trimester went along great. our first ultrasound was at 10 weeks and it was so amazing to finally see the little life growing in there...funny how all my annoyance from the never-ending morning sickness just vanished when i saw it swimming around. All was going well until wednesday, march 6. I was scheduled to have a doctor appointment at 11:30 and started having complications around 9 30 a.m. so i called the doctor and they told me to come in early. After running some normal tests, they took my blood pressure which was significantly lower than at my last appointment and i'd also lost weight...which is no longer supposed to be happening (i dnot know why either, honestly i eat like a giraffe). Anyways after a few other tests, my doctor checked for the babies heartbeat, which , praise the Lord took her no time at all to find and was clear as a bell. We then went in for an ultrasound to try and find out why i was having problems and nothing showed up on there either. Although its been stressful not knowing whats going on in there, it was an encouragement having my mom with me through it all, and seeing that the baby was still alive and kicking around. I now have another ultrasound appointment in 2 1/2 weeks to see if theres still problems and also to find if its a boy or a girl. I ask that you all continue to keep the 3 of us in your prayers. mummy is on bedrest for the week and sleeping as much as possible. Julian is picking up extra hours to cover the loss of mine adn will be tired by the end of it all. and baby just needs prayer becuz as the doctors said , if things go wrong theres nothing they can do to save him or her at this point. I know God works miracles everyday and if nothing else, this is just an experience teaching me to put my trust in His hands. thanks again all!
