So Far So Good

Well, first of all I need to apologize for not writing sooner. After my appointment I had every intention of getting on the computer and updating my blog before I left for vacation. Things got hectic and I never got to it.
Our 6 and half, (that half really means a lot when you're in this position,) week ultrasound went great! I will post the pictures I got, but I don't have enough time right now. It seems simple things take me a long time on computers. Anyway, back to the important stuff, we heard the heart beat and saw the baby. The baby was measuring at the right growth. The night before I had prayed that we get a personal and sensitive ultrasound tech., my prayer was answered times ten. The lady we had told us every detail of what she was doing and looking at and for. When we entered the room she said she knew we had a rocky past so she would make sure to really take her time and pay special attention to everything. She had a couple of really cool things to say during our time there. One thing she said is how cool she thought it was that right now this baby is pretty much all heart. She also said she thought the picture resembled a diamond ring, with the baby being the diamond and the yolk sac being the band. Then she went on to say that in life rings resemble promises. You get a promise ring, an engagement ring, a wedding ring and these are all promises. Then she said she looks at this picture and thinks of it as a promise. Wow! I absolutely love that! When I have time to post my picture, you will really see the resemblance. This picture is God's promise to us. Not necessarily that I will be able to carry this baby full term, but that God has the control.

The last two weeks have still been a roller coaster, but I have been trying to give it to God everyday. I still get nervous with every little cramp or not cramp or not feeling sick, so I still have to work on fully giving this to God.

I have my first OB apt. in about 15 min. I will be able to talk to my doctor and hopefully get another sign that everything is going o.k. I'm hoping she will tell me her plan for the next few months. I will post sooner this time and let you know how things are going

Please continue to pray. I realize how strong the power of prayer is and I can't stress it enough.

Dear Father,

Please continue to take care of my child that is growing and forming in my womb right now. Wrap your loving arms around this child of yours. Lord, I pray that I am able to carry this baby full term and that this child is healthy. Lord, I trust you, your timing and your will.

Love,
Ellen
