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!
